Re: Unable to Record

I am able to overload the mixer now ... I don't actually know which knobs being turned achieved this, There's a knob which on the Behringer web-site photograph is marked "Trim". In the manual the same knob is marked "Gain". (they obviously changed the label at some point). This ...

It's just a variable. It could have been anything but I frequently use "s-in" (sound-in) as the name of the variable in a function that will hold the sound to be processed (the "input sound").

More versatile Nyquist fade/amplify effect

I have often found that the standard Fade-In/Out effects do not produce the fade "shape" that I want. Sometimes I want to make a "partial" fade (for example, fade out to half volume). Both of these can be achieved using the Envelope tool, but it can be fiddly, time consuming and ...

Using Jack Control Patchbay with Audacity

Thanks to bgravato for putting me onto this. The problem with patching Audacity's inputs and outputs when using Jack is that Audacity's input output ports (PortAudio) are only present while Audacity is in Playback/Record mode. As soon as you press "Stop", the ports disappear. Then when Aud...

Re: no audio on media player

I record the song and save it .. Audacity "saves" Audacity Projects, not audio files. To produce an audio file that will play in other software you need to "Export". The exported file must of course be in a format that is supported by your media player. It is a lot easier to set...

Re: Recording from multiple USB mics

The problem with mixers is that they...well, mix. So I can't edit the output of a single mic, If you have 2 conventional microphones plugged into mixer, then as long the mixer has "pan" controls you can pan one microphone to the left and the other to the right. In Audacity 1.3.12 you can ...

Re: Need to sync 2 sources that run at different speeds

To calculate the required speed change:

("original length" - "target length")/"target length"

Re: Help Building a Plugin

You can have hours of fun using Nyquist to create these type of effects. Essentially the effect that you are wanting to produce is that of a "non-linear amplifier". Nyquist is a simple but powerful scripting language that is built into Audacity. You can either run Nyquist commands from the...

Re: Louder sound in right channel,when recording Casettes,wh

Excellent advice Swatcher, and yes you can put pictures directly into posts. There are two ways of doing that: 1) If the picture already exists on the Internet you can use the "Img" button when you are writing the post and put the URL (web address) of the picture between the "Img tags...
