(The code examples below may be run from the Nyquist Prompt effect. It is necessary to have a track selection in order to use the Nyquist Prompt, though none of these examples are concerned with audio data). There is a system variable that allows a user to specify how floating point numbers are to ...

The bouncing light sound meters always work in dB. The recording/playback meters in Audacity 1.3.x can be switched to a dB (default) or linear scale by right clicking on the meter. The dB scale is generally the more useful option. I've also just posted a "Quick Calculator" plug-in that ca...

A small plug-in with some useful conversion features. The following conversion functions are included in this version: dB to linear Linear to dB dB to percent Percent to dB BPM to beat length Beat length to BPM Degrees to radians Radians to degrees In addition it can add a series of numbers, or mult...

That frequency sweep is a neat bit of code. I've stripped out the error checking to make it easier for you to see what is going on (so you will need to be careful to enter sensible parameters). Basically what I've done here is to make both of these scripts into functions, so that they can easily be ...

Try upgrading to Audacity 1.3.12
You can download it from here http://audacityteam.org/download/

Can we take it back a few steps. What are you trying to record and how are you trying to record it. What equipment and what software/operating system versions are you using? If you are just starting off, I'd recommend you use the latest Audacity 1.3.12 which you can get from here: http://audacitytea...

If you import it back into Audacity does it play?
Did it play in Audacity before you exported it?
If you try playing a known good file in WMP does it play?

Not sure how much experience you have with Audacity. See if you can manage this: Find a short part of the recording where the static is particularly noticeable and select a short section (say 2 seconds) across all of the tracks. Press Ctrl+T to trim all of the tracks down to just these 2 seconds, th...

Yes, there's a bit of a sibilance issue, but I've heard much worse ;) Unfortunately it is a tricky problem to deal with. The generally accepted tool for dealing with sibilance is a de-esser, but 1) they don't usually work particularly well unless the sibilance is unusually well defined in terms of f...
