Audacity Forum

An interesting read, though I think that you are confusing Structured programming and object oriented programming. They are two distinctly different paradigms. Although OOP is possible in Nyquist, it is rarely used in Audacity plug-ins. I've not used objects in any of my plug-ins - in fact out of al...

Most songs are played with multiple notes at the same time and that kills you. There's no way to separate that one note out of the others being played. In such cases you would re-record the bad section and use the new recording to replace the part with the error. Normally, for natural sounding resu...

You're not going to get it perfect - there's too much noise, but you should be able to get a reasonable amount of improvement. It is much better to work from an original WAV file than from an MP3. 1) Effect > Amplify (default settings) 2) Effect > Nyquist Prompt. Enter the following code and click O...

After I split those stereo tracks and deleted a channel, then the warbling disappeared. The reason that works is because then the MP3 file can use all of the bits per second for just that one channel rather than having to produce 2 channels with the same number of bits. In effect it is doubling the...

BTW, the current version of Audacity NR (with "Sensitivity" adjustment) is a considerable improvement over the previous version (currently in Audacity 1.3.12). There is also another bug in Noise Removal (1.3.13 alpha): The Sensitivity and Attack/Decay sliders do not respond correctly to ke...

There is a pretty clear bug/unintended behaviour showing up in this test. Irrespective of what settings are used, the Noise Removal effect generates low frequencies (as shown by the peaks at around 12 Hz and 30 Hz in the screen shots). This low frequency noise is audible . Apart from that problem, p...

When recording from vinyl, the majority of the noise is likely to be from the vinyl itself rather than from the sound card.
Therefore the noise sample that you use should be taken from a "silent" part of the record (such as the lead-in before/between/after tracks).

This series of microphone messed that up.... The low recording level problem also exists with many other large diaphragm USB microphones. It is not always so apparent as several manufacturers provide a system toolbar applet that amplifies (scales) the input from the microphone, thus providing a mea...

The term is "non distributable", which I would take to mean that you may not give it to anyone else.

It appears that the Windows drivers only support 44100 Hz. It is unfortunately not uncommon that full functionality is only available using ASIO drivers (which are not supported in the standard version of Audacity) and that the normal Windows (WDM) drivers (which Audacity uses) only provide basic fu...
