Re: Synthesizer USB connection

It looks like Audacity can do almost everything else, but can it output MIDI from audio? No it can't. There are several programs that can convert "monophonic" (a single melody line) sounds to midi, but I haven't come across any program that can do a very good job with polyphonic sounds (c...

Re: Audacity randomly stops recording after a few seconds

Hmm. Doesn't seem to work: Just checked the cvs command, and it is correct. I'm not very familiar with cvs myself, so I'm not sure what the error means (other than something that needed to be written couldn't be). I presume that you are running it from within a directory where you have full read/wr...

Re: Editing Audio

it still removes both tracks when i try to cut a section of one track out. Do you also have a label track? If you have created labels, and the "Link tracks" button is depressed, the tracks will form a track group. Deleting a section of any track in a tack group will delete that section in...

Re: Mic Input Woes

I was looking at a PC today that had Realtek HD Audio. There was a loudspeaker icon in the bottom right corner of the desktop (near the clock). Double clicking on the icon opened a "mixer" interface for the sound card. The recording effects were small, but obvious buttons on the "Micr...

Re: how to export raw data to Matlab?

You can get easily the sample values using Nyquist. I'm not familiar with Matlab, so I've no idea what the integers that you refer to represent.

Re: VocalRemover source code

The vocal remover is a Nyquist plug-in.
Look in your audacity plug-in folder and open "vocalremover.ny" in a text editor.

Re: Pitch change shortens/lengthens track

The pitch change effect keeps the audio at "approximately" the same length as the original, but as you say, this approximation is sometimes not close enough to avoid problems with timings (specifically if you have multiple tracks). To work around the problem, (use Audacity 1.3) duplicate t...

Re: Editing Audio

You can toggle the selection in specific tracks by holding down the SHIFT key and clicking below the track name.

Alternatively, use the up/down cursor keys to move "focus" from one track to the next, then use the ENTER key to toggle selection.

Re: using a Bose T1 Tone Match Audio Engine

You have probably set your sound card mixer application to record "stereo mix" rather than recording from the specific input ("line in"?) that you have the Bose plugged into.

Re: Audacity installation header files...

After installation, did you get anything like libaudacity.a in /usr/lib ? No, but it installed everything necessary to run Audacity. If you want to keep a copy of the source code, you can move it to anywhere you like as it is only used for creating the program files, after which it is not required ...
