Re: Graphical Input "CONTROL" Help Question

You've answered your own question. Version 2 plug-ins support text (strings) boxes. The plug-in interface of Nyquist plug-ins is not actually part of Nyquist (or XLisp). The interface is part of Audacity. Nyquist is just the code that you type and the number crunching and sound crunching that goes o...

Re: Nyquist Manual SND-CONST Function Question

I noticed that in the Nyquist Manual, the (low level) function for inserting a tone is written: snd-const(value, t0, srate, duration) Which version of the manual are you looking at? Here it is written as: (snd-const value t0 srate duration) http://www.audacity-forum.de/download/edgar/nyquist/nyquis...

Re: Clicking sound

Do you guys have any other ideas what might be causing these? Reading through the posts it seems that the one thing that is in common each time the problem occurs is "you". Unless I've missed it, I don't see any reports of the problem when you are not speaking and being recorded. Any news...

Re: Recording but No Playback Sound

What is the USB audio device? How are you listening? Headphones? Speakers? Where are they plugged in? <<The loaded disc will play with windows media player, but when brought into Audacity to edit I have no sound.>> What does that mean? Audacity does not play CDs so I don't know what you mean. If you...

Re: Convert stereo to mono

It didn't seem to matter, stereo or mono. !! No, it won't make any difference to the size, which is what I tried to explain here: Not exactly. When you export in a compressed audio format such as MP3, the "compression settings" determine how many "bits" of data (digital 1's and ...

Re: no line in option on mixer toolbar

This is confusing with two people asking in the same forum thread and really confusing when there's three people asking. I selected the I/O Preferences as required, on both v. 1.2.6 and v. 1.3.12. What exactly were the available options, and which have you got selected? Which version of Audacity are...

Re: tape a quarter or shilling on top of the cartridge

a quarter only weighs 4 grams 5.67 grams which if your set-up is designed to track at between 0.5 and 1 gram, adding another 5.67 grams puts the tracking weight at more than 1000% over the design specification. The risk is not only wear to stylus and vinyl. The diamond on a modern stylus is glued i...
