The Envelope tool allows you to adjust the volume of the track up and down following an "envelope" shape that you create by dragging the waveform bigger/smaller vertically. You can switch from the normal "Selection" tool to the "Envelope" tool by pressing the F2 key. Au...

My (fairly confident) suspicion is that the noise is generated by the Zoom G2. The type of noise sounds fairly typical (though rather too loud) of the type of noise generated by digital signal processors. When listening through headphones, or connecting to an amp, there will be analogue filtering to...

If you don't already have them installed, install PulseAudio device chooser, and PulseAudio Volume Control. PulseAudio Device chooser will load into your panel and allow you to quickly launch PulseAudio Volume control. This is the set-up that I use, but with Audacity 1.3.12 - hopefully it will work ...

There's several ways to do that, but probably the easiest is:
File menu > New
Then close the old project window.

Nice effect don, I'm not real sure what it does (it's based on echo effect code that I'm working on), but the effect is something like throwing a CD in a microwave while you're listening to it and a nice description :D What it's doing is chopping the first 0.5 seconds off the selection and then mult...

01. I'd like to see more FOCUS on the timeline as a whole. You know, treat a whole track as a SINGLE waveform, instead of just focusing on S. Possibly not as simple as it might appear. In the simple case of just one waveform in the track, you can simply select the entire track from time=zero, then ...

Your header ";info, ;control" HAS to start at the left edge Correct - and this can be a problem when copying and pasting code that has been posted on the forum. For example, if you use the "SELECT ALL" link then copy the code below, the forum software appears to add leading whit...

That's how the older spectrum analyzers used to work. Then some genius figured out the Fast Fourier Transform shortcut that everybody's been using ever since. The old version also used FFT, but a different method for the calculation. The difference is that the window is now normalised such that ful...

There was a scientific paper discussed on the developers mailing list about a year ago that explained how the "Analyze->Plot Spectrum" values are calculated - the answer was extremely complicated and involved some pretty advanced mathematics. If it's really important I can probably find th...
