Re: Audacity and VST plug-ins

http://wiki.audacityteam.org/w/index.php?title=VST_Plug-ins#List_of_functional_Plug-ins says the Auto-Tune plug-in works perfectly with Audacity 1.3 I think "perfectly" is an exaggeration. It would be better to say "it works within the capabilities of VST support in Audacity". A...

Re: Help With Science Fair Project

Re: Vertical " playback position line" out of sync with wave

I can confirm that if a loop is played often enough the playback cursor position will gradually drift out of synch with the actual playback position. On my computer the loop needs to play well over 20 times before there is a noticeable difference. I presume what is happening is that the sound playba...

Re: Can't make effects work.

Let's start with a simple case first - installing a Nyquist plug-in... I installed them into the Audacity/Plugin-ins folder. What is the exact address of where you put the file? (for example C:Program Files......) Exactly what steps did you take - how did you "install" them into the folder...

Re: Draft: HOWTO convert audio file formats

As you have access to a Windows computer, I'd go for the easy option and use iTunes to either, convert the m4a files to a different format (such as WAV), or re-rip the CDs to WAV.

Re: Can't make effects work.

DZAuthor, you have put Audacity into "CleanSpeech" mode. This is a cut-down interface for people that are just doing simple stuff with speech recordings.
Go to "Edit menu > Preferences > Interface" and disable "CleanSpeech"
