It appears to work OK on Linux (including the new Help screens). Is there anything in particular that needs testing? Output to "HOME directory" works correctly on Audacity 1.3.13 alpha and generates a sensible error message on Audacity 1.3.12. The one thing that is a little confusing is th...

44.1 KHz That's the sample rate. Look in the bottom left corner of the main Audacity window and set the project Rate to 44100 16 bit That's part of the export format. In Audacity 1.3.12 the default Export format is 16 bit WAV (Microsoft PCM) mono If your audio track in Audacity is mono, then the ex...

Similar to the normal Audacity "Tone..." generator, but with extended capabilities. This plug-in is likely to be of more interest to anyone that is experimenting with Nyquist code than as a production" tool. Includes presets for generating Sine waves, Triangle waves, Sawtooth waves, S...

The problem with the "error message" version is that all Nyquist plugins are parsed at Audacity start-up to determine the entries for the "Effect" menu. With errors in plugin code (the .ny files) the user gets overloaded with errors at Audacity start-time. The current svn Audaci...

The "Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Change" may produce better quality output.
Pitch/Time stretching effects are always approximations and the sound quality is dependent on type of sound being processed. Some sounds just do not stretch very well without sounding bad.

Use Audacity 1.3.12 (not the old 1.2.6 version).
Go to "Edit menu > Preferences > Import/Export" and select "Use Custom Mix". This will allow you to map the tracks to multiple channels in the output file.

Upgrade to Audacity 1.3.12
Select the M-Audio in "Edit menu > Preferences > Devices".
You must have the Windows drivers installed for the M-Audio as Audacity does not support ASIO.

To keep the problem in perspective, I've not seen any user problems posted to this forum regarding Unicode characters in Nyquist, though I don't monitor the Russian section other than for cleaning out spam. A typical Edgar answer would read: "Everythig would be much easier if Unicode had been i...

Recording long files can be problematic for a number of reasons. Things to watch out for include; Availability of free, unfragmented disk space (Windows should always have at least 10% free disk space) WAV files have a maximum size of 4 GB (2 GB on some machines) - this does not affect the recording...

EDIT: I found the answer myself, after a bit of playing around. I changed the suffix to ".nv" instead of ".php" and once in the plug-ins folder, it worked. That can be a problem with download managers. While DM's can be useful, particularly for downloading large files over a dia...
