Re: Making TiMidity run

FLAC files play in Audacity and all good media players, including VLC, WinAmp, RhythmBox, Foobar2000 and many more.
With the aid of plug-ins they will also play in Windows Media Player and iTunes.

Re: Correct version of lame for 1.3.12-beta ??

I must confess that I don't understand what "(x86)" means in Windows! The long and precise answer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86 The short answer: it means "32 bit" not "64 bit". Some modern computers are based on a 64-bit architecture and use a 64-bit operating sys...

Re: Changing Stereo to Mono

In the current Audacity 1.3 these 4 steps can be replaced with: 1 - Tracks menu > Stereo Track to Mono No they cannot. In 1.3.9 the mono track comes out half the volume. This is not an acceptable solution. What I want is the left channel copied to the right channel, not both channels mixed down to ...

Re: Fixing volume/pitch differences between recordings?

On Ezekiel000’s screengrab each section is consistently offset, but some sections are negative some positive: an ultra-low frequency alternating signal could cause that presentation (say 0.001Hz , peak amplitude 0.2) , however the equalization I suggested, removing everthing below 20Hz, would have ...

Re: Making TiMidity run

why isn't your file under the "Music" section for automatic playback? Toofiles would not let me upload it into the music section because it is in FLAC format. Flac files are the same sound quality as WAV files, but only half the size. Lol, there's no Gestapo here, just forum Elves. Yes, A...

Re: "Wave Stats" plug-in

May I say this is a fantastic tool but is there any way of exporting the values? I have lots of file (6000 + ) I need to analyse in a short period of time and if I could export as a text file of some sort, that would be brilliant. The plug-in could be adapted to output to a text file, but you would...

Re: Making TiMidity run

The button that you clicked on is one of their "adverts". If you used Firefox with "Adblock Plus" that bad link would have been blocked. The correct download link was the name of the file "variation-18.flac". Here it is again on Toofiles http://www.toofiles.com/en/oip/d...

Re: Fixing volume/pitch differences between recordings?

Trebor, I notice that you are assuming that the problem is DC off-set. While the image posted by Ezekiel000 certainly appears to have DC off-set, at that zoom level I don't think it's really possible to tell if it is DC off-set, or that the waveforms are asymmetrical. Whether it is just asymmetry in...

Re: imported raw file hissy

If the files are now headerless you've clearly not recovered all of the data. As you now have partial files, even though you may have nearly all of the file, I don't think that it's going to be possible to get the necessary off-set correct without an awful lot of trial and error. Without knowing the...
