I see the last line of the script is the single char: l and wonder if this is a return value (I'll use upper case for "L" - Nyquist is case insensitive anyway.) The function (add-label ...) , which is defined on line 49, returns a variable "L" which is a specially formatted list...

If you don't want to use metadata (id3 tags) then you can switch off the metadata ediitor pop-up in Preferences: "Edit menu > Preferences > Import/Export" If you do want to use the metadata editor but wish to have the common information (album title, etc) filled in for each track when usin...

It doesn't specifically say at what sample-rate it digitizes at. According to this review the sampling rate is limited to 44.1 or 48 kHz (16 bit) If I did record a CD using Audacity, I would not trust that I would get all the samples unless I doubled the sample-rate. If you are recording a CD you a...

The Nyquist XLisp 2.0 manual recommended doing it that way I think that's just a little "useful tip" from Edgar (the author) rather than a general recommendation. In practice (in plug-ins) you would often be using variables rather than numbers. Taking your example: (scale (/ 3 1.0 4) s) I...

It depends on what you are recording. If you are recording from a single microphone, that is a mono source, so there is not much point in recording a stereo track (unless you have some overriding reason to do so). If you are recording from a stereo cassette player then you will probably want to reco...

Would it help if I was to zoom out so I maintain the whole of the recording on the screen?? That's worth trying. To zoom out before your recording starts you will need to create a track first (Tracks menu > Add New > Stereo Track) To start recording on the track that you have just created, press SH...

Do you have a standard Ubuntu installation or have you changed anything?
Are you using PulseAudio?

I don't hear a "ground noise", but the Flac file sounds like you have tried to remove some hiss before you exported. The WAV file has some clearly audible hiss that is not in the Flac version. I've tried converting the WAV file to Flac and I get different results - my Flac version is ident...

I've been testing Audacity 1.3.13 with Lame 3.98.4 on Linux (Ubuntu 9.04) Audacity was built from the current SVN source, and Lame was built from the official Lame release source code. It works fine, but I've not noticed any improvements over the 3.98.2 version. where's 3.98.4? Because later version...
