Re: piano sounds great going in, lousy in Audacity

Exactly how are you recording it? What's your method and what equipment are you using? Are you DI'ing the piano or recording with a microphone? How are you listening when it sounds good? How are you listening when it sounds bad?

Re: New plugin "Super Bass Cut"

I did look at the code, but I'm not sure what it's for - it takes away a lot of the music.

Re: other utilities nr 1 - EAC

With good (not scratched) CDs, EAC will, as long as it is set up correctly for your optical drive, produce perfect copies. On scratched or poor quality CDs it can be extremely slow and the results no better than other CD rippers that are many times faster. Foobar2000 is extremely fast at ripping CDs...

Re: left and right arrow keys don't work on 1.3.11

There IS some logic behind it - during "PAUSE", Audacity is still really in "PLAY" mode, but just... paused :)
In PLAY mode, the cursor keys have a different function (jump forward/back), so they are not available to function as they do when Audacity is stopped.

Re: mic preamp with digital output?

Are you meaning to say that firewire is not well supported by audacity or do you mean that multichannel input is not supported (by audacity). Firewire and multi-channel devices generally are often designed primarily to work with ASIO driver. It seems that Windows drivers are often added on as somet...

Re: sub forum needed - easier to find things

While I agree there would be some advantages to greater categorisation, about 20% of posts are on the wrong boards already (Windows instead of Mac, Audacity 1.2.x instead of 1.3.x, Forum Issues for questions totally unrelated to the forum....) and additional boards/sub forums would only make it more...
