Audacity Forum

That's a common and effective strategy, but it can be horribly frustrating for new users on a help forum who have just "spent the last 4 hours try to get the *@$*! thing to work and now I can't even post a *@$*!& question!". There are easy ways to instantly stop 90% of the spam, but it...

The algorithm is extremely simple - look for where periods of "silence" (amplitude below the threshold) become periods of non-silence (amplitude above the threshold), then mark it with a label. How much detail do you want? Do you know anything about Nyquist programming or Lisp? (Nyquist: h...

You should be getting "shed loads" (lots) of signal without turning the ART pre-amp anywhere near full volume. How do you have them connected, with what sort of leads?
Are the LED's on the receiver showing the correct colours?

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but I presume the main Audacity window did not open? So what/where was this "Audacity" and "Help"?

The spam has been particularly rampant over the last few days - The other day I deleted well over 300 spam posts during one evening. I'm looking forward to the migration being completed so that we don't have to spend so much time deleting posts and banning spammers.

I cannot (or at least I have not found how to do that) select the whole track and remove the smaller silences without affecting the longer ones. drop-outs (skips) are often extremely quiet (absolute silence, or very close to absolute silence). If your track is in 32 bit format, try setting the sile...

... the consequence that .... the values of Nyquist LEN and *warp* time-stretch are also initialized with zero. This is clearly an Audacity bug. I see how that will explain the behaviour, thanks for the explanation. I don't understand enough about the Audacity source code to be able to work that ou...

I would highly recommend not posting your e-mail address on any public forums unless you want to be plagued by spam forever. Did you set Audacity to "Rescan" for plug-ins? (Edit menu > Preferences > Effects). You need to do that, then restart Audacity. Classic Reverb should be listed in th...

Thanks bg, so it appears that at least some data recovery may be possible in the case of minor damage. flac -d -F abc.flac Decode abc.flac to abc.wav and don't abort if errors are found (useful for recovering as much as possible from corrupted files). http://flac.sourceforge.net/documentation_tools_...

So what fixed it?
