Re: Data lost bug - workaround?

Does this mean that what I'm describing is simply an old problem that's already known for that version? I can't find this problem specifically listed in the release notes, but Audacity 1.3.10 is about the version when I noticed this problem. Since then I've updated several times (now using 1.3.13 b...

Re: Click Track

How do I change the click to be 1/8 notes instead of 1/4 notes if I need to... Change the "Beats per measure [bar]" to 8. bpm in audacity will not take decimal points of a beat....it drifts out of time... Make it as close as you can (71 bpm), then use the "Change Speed" effect o...

Re: Batch Processing

+1 Vote for having a batch processing feature Audacity 1.3.13 has a batch processing feature - "Chains", however there are several limitations as to what it can do. Among the limitations: it can only use built in effects and cannot use Nyquist effects. it seems like this was the intention...

Re: Signal to Noise Ratios / Intensity Normalisation

If you run the following code in the "Nyquist Prompt" (in the Effect menu), it will amplify the selection so that the first 1 second has a peak RMS level of -12 dBFS. (only works with mono tracks). (setq target-level -12) (mult s (/ (db-to-linear target-level)(peak (rms s) 100))) If you re...

Re: Laming problem in 1.3 beta

I've installed ImTOO audio converter... That shouldn't be a problem. I've got another lame_enc.dll for you to try. Use the same method as before. This is the more recent lame 3.98.4 If this one does not work I'll have to call for the cavalry. (actually, I have one more idea we could try - and then ...

Re: Audacity vs Microsoft

Fed up with the antic I opened the "Recording Control" window and watched. Sure enough it followed the Audacity setting, shooting up to max, as well. It's probably actually happening the other way round. Audacity is following the Windows volume. Should I un-install and hope all settings a...

Re: HUMMmmm Persists

Measuring between the metal outside parts of the motherboard and the earth connection of its Line In jack shows . . . . 2 mV ac ! Good fault finding - you've found a hardware problem. Have you checked to see if there is any voltage (AC or DC) between chassis ground on the computer and ground on the...

Re: Audacity + guitar rig 3 or 4

Guitar Rig will probably not work correctly as a plug-in with Audacity. For this functionality you should ideally use a host program that fully supports VST, real-time processing, and ASIO (for example, Cubase, Sonar, Reaper...) You may be able to record the output of Guitar Rig if you set up the st...

Re: Can I record and have it stop when there is silence?

-- No Virus Scanning or Updates -- No helper programs -- No auto defrag Why? Because if Windows decides to defragment the hard drive (or any other disk intensive action) in the middle of the night and Audacity is trying to record, then disk access for Audacity will be severely limited and the recor...
