Re: DVD ripping

No, Audacity is for audio editing and processing.
The Doom9 forum has a lot of information about extracting data from DVD's.

SUPER by erightsoft can convert unencrypted VOB files into WMV format.

Re: More Free VST Plug-ins.

Note that some VST plug-ins are incompatible with Audacity and cause Audacity to crash, or prevent it from launching. Ladspa and Nyquist plug-ins are generally far less problematic.

Also, Audacity 1.3.6 now contains some additional effects as standard.

Re: Help with the Timer Record feature.

The timer record has been out for a while now, and I know a couple of people that use it regularly with no problem - my own limited experience with it has shown it to be very reliable. Does your computer have any "power saving" features enabled? Check that it is set to "always on"...

Re: Help with iteration functions in Nyquist

You'll probably get some ideas from this post: http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic ... 984#p31998

Note that the code is not very efficient, but I think it's fairly easy to understand.

Re: add a feature (chord generator)

Here's some sample code to play with in the Nyquist Prompt (listed in "Unsorted" effects in Audacity 1.3.6) (setq samplerate (snd-srate s)) (sim (scale 0.5 (force-srate samplerate (stretch-abs 1.0 (sound s)))) (scale 0.4 (force-srate samplerate (stretch-abs 0.75 (sound s)))) (scale 0.3 (fo...

Re: ANDing / XORing two almost identical tracks

Good news: Steve's script works very slick. I've posted three mp3s here to illustrate the results. Excellent - it's worked pretty well. Looking at the clicks that remain, they are present in both channels, so as expected they have not been removed, but at least there is now a manageable number so t...

Re: add a feature (chord generator)

would you please share your thought about "harmonic generator"? The way I would approach it is using a Nyquist script to process an individual strum/note. In practice you would probably want different chords in different parts of the music/tune, rather than running parallel intervals thro...

Re: How to convert Joint-Stereo to Stereo in Windows MediaPl

The advantage of using higher bit depth (32 bit rather than 16 bit) is that you get greater dynamic range http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_range The advantage of using higher sample rates (48kHz rather than 44.1kHz) is that it supports higher frequencies. Bit depth For your Exported audio file t...

Re: Subsequent tracks get recorded at a different pitch

As before, as well as setting the sample rate, the most common bottlenecks are due to: Anti-virus programs interfering with the recording process. Disk fragmentation. Other programs running at the same time. then work your way through all the suggestions here: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?...
