Re: will not run

Looks like there is some software on your computer that is interfering with Audacity. Have a look to see what processes are running on your computer and shot down everything that is not essential.

Re: Major noise when laptop is plugged in.

I record church sermons so I run a red & white RCA from the board to a single point 1/8 inch plug which goes into my laptop mic jack. Anytime the laptop is plugged in, it makes horrible background noise If the "horrible background noise" is a high pitched buzz/whistle, then it is prob...

Re: Problems with AVS Audio Editor 4.2

I'm wondering how you got to the Audacity help forum? My guess is that Lauren clicked on an advert on the Sourceforge page for downloading Audacity, and mistakenly thinks that AVS Audio Editor has something to do with Audacity. It doesn't, AVS Audio Editor is a commercial program and has nothing to...

Re: Playing PC audio through USB mic

The problem is something similar to an issue that comes up with Audacity from time to time - "How can I record my USB microphone and MP3s/CDs that are playing in my media player for a live podcast recording?" The answer to that question is that you can't. The reason is that Audacity can on...

Re: Secret Rabbit

Here are the results of the first tests: Resampling white noise from 96kHz to 44.1kHz Here we can see that during the conversion a low pass filter is used to remove frequencies close to the nyquist frequency which would otherwise cause problems. libresample.png Now with the Secret Rabbit Code (libsa...

Re: What is involved when converting bitdepth?

At the most basic level, yes that's it, though note that the audio samples are in the range of +1 to -1 (hence the vertical scale in Audacity). In practice it is a little more complicated as you need to decide what to do with sample values that do not convert exactly. See here for more information a...

Re: Multiple notches with Nyquist prompt?

Well, unfortunately neither of the code pieces you so kindly wrote could succeed; the first returns no audio, the second, only "returns the value: 60". I've not tested on Audacity 1.2 (I've not got it installed), but on Audacity 1.3 they definitely do work (I've just tested them all). To ...
