Re: working with cassette tapes

Yes your last post was tucked away where no-one would see it - Never mind, I've deleted it. If your media player can play anything, then it should be able to play a WAV file. Does RealPlayer come up with any error message ("codec not found" or anything similar)? I suspect that you have exp...

Re: Audacity still seems to be making a rather quiet recordi

This is the traditional operating system that doesn't do sound very well. But Linux is very capable of performing superbly with audio. ALSA does a difficult job (largely due the lack of manufacturers drivers) superbly well and performs as well as any other operating system, it's just that it can be...

Scroll bar question

Is it my imagination or my recently updated Firefox, or have the web site scroll bars just changed?

Re: Home Audio logs

Re: add a feature (chord generator)

I presume that what you are wanting to do is to create an effect that tracks the fundamental input frequency. I'm not a programmer, so for all that C+ stuff I can't help you. I know a little about Nyquist scripts (much easier than real programming) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist_(programming_l...

Re: analyzing/reproducing an effect

Use Audacity 1.3 Analyze menu > Plot Spectrum You can see that the whole thing is band limited to the range 300Hz to about 5kHz (high pass/low pass filters) Switch to "Log frequency" and you can see that the low end roll off starts at about 500Hz, so that is the point that you will set you...

WinAmp is not available for Linux, unless you are running it in Wine?
