Then it did at least serve some purpose
Have you been using Audacity 1.3.12? (the coolest Audacity so far)

Yes, as I wrote in my previous post: so for (sqrt (1-s)) you would write

Now that I've had time to look at your plug-in I think that making it a "Generate" plug-in is probably the best option. I imagine that it is quite useful to be able to "generate" the template without needing to select a track first. The required format for a list (and other usefu...

Could that be the problem, having both installs on the computer? No, that should not be a problem. Keep both versions on your computer for now, it may help us to locate the problem. Do you get the problem with all files, or is it just certain audio files/recordings that cause the problem? Try playi...

It has not been recorded at too high a level in Audacity - the distortion has occured before the sound reached Audacity. It's difficult to say exactly where the distortion occured without knowin...

I presume the FAW Circle synth program is running on the same computer as Audacity? So you are recording the synth using "Stereo Mix". Recording "Stereo Mix" is, as Koz has said, the way to record sounds that are playing on your computer. Here's the catch - the sounds from the FA...

Here is a link to a screenshot of my highlighted area of the clip, and the dropdown menu with many of the options grayed out: If I'm not mistaken, I think I can see the edge of the Pause button, and it is depressed. To use effects (and most other functions) Audacity must be "Stopped", not...
