Audacity Forum

I've only had a brief look, but it looks promising.
I notice that sometimes the effect will introduce a bit of DC offset, and wonder if it might be better to have the high-pass filter at the end of the signal chain rather than at the beginning.

Looks good.

On the interface, should it say "Monomix Amount" or "Mono Mix Amount" (or another alternative)?

The tools are somewhat limited in Audacity 1.2.x, but you can still increase the data compression (this is not the same as the "compression effect" - that's "dynamic compression). Go to "Edit menu > Preferences > File Formats" Change the MP3 Export "Bit Rate" to a ...

No.
Which version of Audacity are you using? (Look in the Help menu > About Audacity)

Hot keys would be nice, but it does not solve the problem of scrolling through 200+ effects to try and find that particular reverb effect that you used last month. Much easier to just look in the "Reverbs" section of the Effects menu. 200+ effects :shock: 24 built-in effects, Filters - low...

With reasonable recording levels (does not need to push hugely close to 0 dB) very professional sounding results can be achieved with 16-bit recording. A peak recording level of -10 dB still puts the digital noise floor 86 dB below the peak level, which is very good, and (subjectively) much better t...

Various options:
Make the file shorter,
use a higher compression ratio,
If the file is stereo, make it mono,
Reduce the bit-depth.

A Nyquist "sound" object is a pointer to a linked list of administration data, which in turn point to "blocks" of sound samples, which are read only if really necessary (lazy evaluation = delay computation until really needed). Ah ha, that explains some other "unexpected&qu...

what does those numbers represent? That represents the numerical value of the samples in 32-bit float format. A waveform with a range of +/- 1 is 0 dB. A waveform with a range +/- 0.5 is about -6 dB A waveform with a range +/- 0.25 is about -12 dB A horizontal line (usually at zero) is -infinity dB...

my impression is that if your small team were to have more time to devote to fixing the problem on a more general scale than user by user, we all might sooner benefit by having available an Audacity version that works seamlessly with Windows 7, whether those platforms be in 32- or 64-bit varieties....
