Re: How to dynamically mod volume of one track to match anot

Apologies for the delay Matt, it's been busy at work. The larger blocksize also produces a result with a larger amplitude. Why is the amplitude larger? That's because it is tracking peaks, so with a larger block size, each block of samples is likely to catch a higher peak than a smaller block size. ...

Re: Audacity 1.2.6 - Cannot record in stereo

ie take a mono record like the Beatles and split the sound so the vocal is in one speaker and the intruments in the other? That's not something you can do. Once the track has been mixed down into a mono track, that's it - the sound's are "baked in", and like a fruit cake, once it has been...

Re: how to get an electric guitar distortian sound

"Clipping" is essentially the effect that you get from a "Fuzz Box" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzbox but unlike a transistor Fuzz Box, digital clipping is even more severe and produces very large amounts of very high frequency harmonics than can fry the tweeters in your speak...

Re: 1.3.12 Beta language choice in Interface

That gives me the Audacity executable at usr/local/bin which is called "audacity-SVN" instead of "audacity". At usr/local/share/audacity-SVN I have the expected "nyquist" and "plug-ins" folders, Same, but Nyquist plug-ins work fine here. I've used this method...

Re: New plugin "Super Bass Cut"

By the way - the code in my last post will work on stereo tracks in Audacity 1.3.12, but only on mono tracks in Audacity 1.2.6 (or early 1.3 versions).
Nyquist was upgraded somewhere around 1.3.7 and one change was that these filters now work on stereo tracks.

Re: New plugin "Super Bass Cut"

I had a go with your test example. The rumble and bumps are far worse than the hum, so I ignored the hum and concentrated on the rumble. Here's the code: (highpass2 (highpass4 (highpass8 s 50) 70) 110) You will notice that it starts rolling off at 110Hz, then becomes progressively steeper at lower f...

Re: how to get an electric guitar distortian sound

For more in-your-face distortion, Effect > Amplify > Allow Clipping, pick an amplification higher than the one that's there. Then apply amplification again with a -3 to bring the music back down to normal with the distortion in place. Personal opinion - clipped audio just sounds bad - nothing at al...
