Audacity Forum

Audacity can be used as a multi-track environment It certainly can and I frequently use it as such, however that does not negate the premise that Audacity is in essence an audio editor. Eq is the one effect that I really have trouble with in the absence of real-time processing. Whilst the spectrum ...

I am running Audacity Stable (1.2) on on older (pre-Intel) Mac powerbook. Sorry to go off about Windows (I had just been writing to someone about a very similar issue on a Windows machine - I'm easily confused :? ) However, the approach to solving the problem on a Mac is similar - rather than the W...

I was going to suggest posting on the Audacity-Nyquist mailing list, but I see that you already have (and you've got hold of the top man for Nyquist - You may have noticed that it's Roger Dannenberg's name on the manual). Also, any suggestion on a good (easy to understand) Lisp tutorial. Nyquist is ...

How much are they jumping? They should be jumping almost to the end of the scale on loud bits.

You need to have the Windows drivers installed and the device must be connected and working before you open Audacity. Check in "Edit menu > Preferences > Audio I/O" that you have the Presonus selected as the recording and playback device. You may need to restart Audacity after making chang...

Nyquist has some filter functions but none are cubic and I don't see a way to specify ones own filter function. Nyquist can be extended by writing your own functions. Sorry I can't help with that, I've not gone that deeply into Nyquist, but you can find some information about it in Appendix 1 of th...

Also, there have been a number of weird problems reported with MP3 encoding on Audacity 1.2.x due to compatibility problems between new versions of LAME and the old version of Audacity. The solution to this is to upgrade Audacity to the current version (1.3.7) and install "Lame for Audacity&quo...
