Apparently that will be corrected in the next Audacity release (it should of course be -2.0 to transpose from A down to G).

oh! by the way I have upgradeed to 1.3. beta. Oh good :D Hopefully the 1.3.12 version from here? http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_windows I have to set the slider just above 0 to stop the clipping and distortion. I'm running windows7 home,.. This is a known problem (bug?) in Windows 7. The rec...

That should happen automatically as long as Audacity closes normally and does not crash.

In Audacity, when you apply an effect (any effect) it is only applied to the current selection.

By default, if there is NO selection, then Audacity will automatically select everything and then apply the effect. (This behaviour can be switched off in the "Tracks" section of Preferences).

When you import a compressed audio file into Audacity, it is decoded into uncompressed audio data. When you export from Audacity to a compressed format (such as MP3), it is the (uncompressed) audio data within the Audacity project that is encoded, not the original MP3 file. In that sense it is irrel...

The software tries all the possible combinations of all the tools and variables and selects the best parameters that achieve the desired work...while I'm making a cuppa. Sounds like a new f...

<<<Sliding Time Scale/Pitch Shift>>> What does that mean? I got the Pitch Shift thing. Increasing the sample rate before applying Pitch shift appears to produce a slight improvement to the sound quality, but so slight as to be hardly worth the effort. The "Sliding Time Scale/Pitch Shift" ...

A good idea to keep it here, but how about another post in the Nyquist section, perhaps with a bit more explanation about the code and how it works?
