Re: How to make a song play at gradually increasing volume?

Re: Can anyone test "Plot Spectrum" in Audacity 1.3.8

Thanks Gale, I've not yet read the "Numerical Recipes in C" - can't open it in Evince, and don't currently have Acrobat installed - also probably a bit heavy for bedtime reading - but the "bins" explanation worked for me. I look forward to reading the full explanation in the manu...

Re: Can anyone test "Plot Spectrum" in Audacity 1.3.8

The spectrum is off the scale. Reduce the Meter/Waveform dB Range on the interface tab of Preferences Gale But why is it off scale in Audacity 1.3.8 and on scale in previous versions of Audacity? Both images below show a range of -90dB to -80dB, but in Audacity 1.3.8 the peak is at around -110dB ra...

Re: Temporary Top Window stops Audacity from running.

I've not seen this error for a long time - are you using an old version of Audacity? The current version is 1.3.8 I've done a search on the forum and found quite a few posts about this, mostly pretty old ones. Do you have FruityLoops or FL Studio installed on your computer? Have you ever? Unfortunat...

Re: 1.3.8 changes

yes ADAT, as in an ADAT recorder. The old Alesis recorders that use SVHS tapes to record on. As I said, I'd go analog and use a 2" tape if I could afford it or do the upkeep on them. Nice - yes I liked the old 2" tape, but ouch! it was getting way too expensive (it never was cheap). I lik...
