Re: Record on 2nd Track Playback from 1st Track

I am merely trying to duplicate with Audacity what I used to do decades ago with two tape recorders--play and pause one tape deck while the other continue to record the playback and the pauses as silence. Yes, very easy to do with two tape recorders. Also very easy to do with two computers, but I p...

Re: unnecessary echo recorded using StereoMix

Re: Convert semi-tones (steps) to frequency

It's occurred to me that the final code example may be difficult to follow. There's a good explanation of 'Do' loops here: http://www.audacity-forum.de/download/edgar/nyquist/nyquist-doc/xlisp/xlisp-ref/xlisp-ref-093.htm and for DO* http://www.audacity-forum.de/download/edgar/nyquist/nyquist-doc/xli...
