Nice find Edgar. I've seen the ".n" somewhere before (and used it myself) but the "#" and "+" option are new to me. Tested on Ubuntu 10.10 with Audacity 1.3.12 and 1.3.13 Tested on Windows with Audacity 1.2.6 , 1.3.7 and 1.3.12 All work as expected. Test script (setq x ...

Anyway, that...

On XP, to record sounds playing on your computer using the EMU 0202 you will need to use a "loopback connector". A loopback connector is simply an audio lead (with appropriate plugs) that you use to connect the line output of the 0202 to the line input of the 0202. I realise that this is a...

I find the compand gain transfer function confusing, but a bit of experimentation produced the heavy compression that I was after. sox infile.wav outfile.wav compand 0,0.1 -80.1,-inf,-80,-160,-48,-24,-24,-6,-12,-1.5,-6,-0.3 -1 -6 gain -n -0.1 The attack is 0 (as fast as possible) and the decay (rele...

I assume that there is no volume control on your guitar? If there is no way to lower the volume on the guitar, or lower the gain on the lightsnake, you could work round the problem using a foot pedal such as a "Graphic Eq". As well as having multiple Eq bands, Graphic Eq pedals usually als...
