In Audacity 1.3.12 there is an effect called "Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift". This is a lot slower than the normal Pitch shift effect, but generally produces higher quality results. If you can cope with the speed changing as well as the pitch, then use the "Change Speed" effec...

I don't know that we ever established this, but if you Saved an Audacity Project in 44100, 32-bit Floating (Audacity default) then the show may not be clipping...yet. If the Audacity Project still exists and the individual tracks are below 0dB, then the tracks could be remixed at a lower level to a...

Why not just do absolute value before computing it? Would that slow things down too much while recording? I don't know if it would have much of a performance hit, but I wouldn't have expected it to.

Now that you have the ACM files installed you may be able to convert the files to normal WAV format using the free media format converter "SUPER" by erightsoft. I'm guessing that the files that you have are either GSM 6.10 or G.711. SUPER may also be able to tell you what the actual format...

Irrespective of how good their reputation may appear to be, I'd avoid that studio. It should be absolutely no trouble at all for them to work with mono files if they know what they are doing. If they were merely "advising" you that your files were mono (in case you hadn't realised), then t...

File names beginning with a dot are not necessarily system files, though many system files do begin with a dot. The dot before the file (or folder) name just makes them "hidden". It is very common for configuration files to be hidden in the users home directory in this way. For example, th...

Can we leave signature after having a post here? No. Comment spam is an increasing nuisance that is ruining forums for everyone.
