Re: Regular Interval Labels enhancements

Yes. I was puzzled we had the following arrangement in notch.ny: Strictly speaking, the ;control lines are part of the Audacity header. In "notch.ny" the comment block was placed after the Audacity header - that is, after the ;control lines. In terms of readability I think it is better if...

Re: Audacity Upgrade

I don't think that Lame or FFmpeg have been updated between 1.3.12 and 1.3.13, so there should be no need to make any changes to either of these libraries. Simply installing Audacity 1.3.13 should be all that is needed for a full upgrade from 1.3.12 to 1.3.13.

Re: Laming problem in 1.3 beta

Great ! Finally it worked. Hooray :D But one thing I don't understand, Why ver 3.98.4 23_3_10 that I mentioned earlier didn't work ? Because Audacity accesses lame at a low level (which is a lot faster than through the command line interface) it needs a version of Lame that has been built against t...

Yes.
You will notice that for a generated sine wave, the light colour is about 71% lower than the dark colour, whereas for a square wave the peak and RMS are the same.

Re: Equalizing ie. (eq)

Although Audacity does not do "real-time" processing, there is a "Preview" button on the Equalizer effect. The default preview length is very short, but can be set to a more useful length in "Edit menu > Preferences > Playback". Personally I agree that there needs to be...

Re: RECORDING LOW BACKGROUND MUSIC W/ VOICE - Royalty Free M

Royalty free does not necessarily mean totally free, but that you can use it without incurring usage fees or having to pay a percentage to the author. A good source of royalty free background music is Melody Loops dot com: [Link removed by moderator] LOTS of styles of original music. You have to pa...

Re: Batch Processing

What I would like to do is create a chain that sets the peak amplitude to say -0.2 dB In that case you need to use "Normalize" rather than "Amplify". When used in Chains, the "Amplify" effect will amplify the audio by a specified amount . For example you can set it to ...
