Re: Listing useful programs other than Audacity

There is a huge list of audio plug-ins on KVR.
This is their catalogue/database page: http://www.kvraudio.com/get.php

Current number of plug-ins listed on KVR = 4282

Narrowing it down a bit, 749 of them are free VST effects plug-ins for Windows.

Re: Nyquist Transformation Environment

A Nyquist programmer expects this code to produce a sound with the exact length of the Audacity selection, but this is only possible if the *warp* time-stretch value is bound to the length of the Audacity selection, so the resulting sound can be stretched to a fitting length by the build-in STRETCH...

Re: Saving Audacity Data Files

Just a thought on FLAC vs. WAV as an archiving format. With WAV files, if there is slight damage to the file (for example due to an unreadable bit on the disk that it's stored on), it is usually still possible to recover the rest of the file. Does anyone know if the case is the same for FLAC, or doe...

Re: Audacity Error Opening Sound Device

What would you do at this point? Do not despair, ;) since you have reinstalled everything, we just need to work it through from the beginning. Have you looked in the Windows Control Panel and looked at this screen? http://wiki.audacityteam.org/w/images/thumb/d/d0/Xppr.PNG/350px-Xppr.PNG (see here f...

Re: SND-ADD FUN

As edgar said, you don't usually need to use (cue ...), but in the code that we were discussing recently involving (at ...), (cue ... ) was necessary because (at ...) acts on behaviours , which are different to sounds . There is a section in the manual about sounds vs behaviours http://www.audacity-...

How on Earth did you work that one out :shock:

Re: ?stereo to mono, keeping the highs from each side?

Cons... 1) It is supplied as a RAR file so you’ll need RAR decompression software. "IZArc" is an excellent free archiver program for Windows and supports RAR (and lots of other compression formats). http://www.izarc.org/ It's one of the first programs that I install on a new Windows machi...

Re: Saving Audacity Data Files

Dragging this back to the question in hand, saving a high quality (lossless) audio file is a much more reliable backup than saving an Audacity Project.

Re: Nyquist Transformation Environment

Any further questions, ideas or examples? An example from a conversation in another forum thread: Looking at these two bits of code, one might be tempted to think that they do the same thing: (setq mysound (sim s (at 0.5 (cue s)))) (stretch-abs 1 (cue mysound)) (defun mysound (s-in) (sim s (at 0.5 ...

Re: Nyquist Cookie Monster

Part-II of the game is to find out how the code works ... Took me a while to get this bit: (let ((whitespace (format nil " ~a~%" #Tab))) (setq input (string-trim whitespace input))) but it's pretty neat. The thing that threw me was that I misread " ~a~%" as "~a~%" In a...
