Re: no signal

Keep it on CD Quality for now. Connect the Tascam to your computer and allow Windows a few moments to connect to it, then open Audacity, (IMPORTANT! The Tascam must be connected to the computer and recognised by Windows BEFORE you open Audacity.) then go to "Edit menu > Preferences > Devices&qu...

Re: Voice Recording is CHOPPY Sometimes

Your system is nearly fast enough to do what you want. The intermittent choppiness is when some part of your system cannot keep up with the audio stream. to my knowledge a lot of people record with fraps/audacity/blue snowball mic and don't have an issue. Also a lot of people have exactly this same ...

Re: How to split&export .wma files

1) Don't use Audacity 1.2.6 with Windows 7. Use Audacity 1.3.13 http://audacityteam.org/download/ 2) Audacity 1.2.6 does not support WMA format. 3) For WMA format support in Audacity 1.3.x you need to also install FFMpeg http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=FAQ:Installation_and_Plug-Ins#in...

Re: Audacity for Macs and silence Generator

.I tried to follow the code reply...not much luck here for the tech challenged Don't worry about that. That information from Edgar was not intended for Audacity users. He was replying to my question about the technical feasibility of making Audacity remember the time format in the Generate Silence ...

Re: Vibrato Nyquist script

Here's a version that works with stereo tracks. It still has the 100,000 sample (per channel) limitation, but as Edgar explained, this is a limitation of the (fmosc) function and is hard coded into Audacity. (setq initial-speed 1.0) ; Hz (setq final-speed 5.0) (setq initial-depth 10) ; scale of 0 to...

Vibrato

Applies a variable vibrato to the selected audio. Limitations: Maximum length is 99,999 samples (per audio channel). This limitation is hard coded into Audacity as the maximum size for *table* is 100000 samples. Thanks to Edgar-rtf for the suggestion of using (fmosc), which in spite of the length li...

Re: Vibrato Nyquist script

Which version of Audacity are you using? (look in "Help menu > About Audacity" for the exact version number).

That error looks like you are applying the code to a stereo track. The code (as is) will only work on a mono track.

Re: Bit and Sampling rates - Real or Imagined?

I have a basic problem understanding the benefits of 32 bit recording/editing if the basic problem seems to be the "throat" through which it must all pass, the on-board soundcard of your computer which in most cases appears to be 16 bit. If by "throat" you mean the limiting fact...

Re: Noise Removal Tests

What is the FFT window size currently set to? 2048 Thinking back to the days when I used CoolEdit Pro, the current setting is toward the low end. There's probably going to be some trade off - possibly on processing time / CPU load. This calls for some testing. I'll see what I can do over the next f...
