Re: Audacity Won't Export...

I've just quickly tried the project in Audacity 1.2.6 (Windows) and I confirm the project is OK. It's a bit of a mystery why it won't export even as a WAV on amlz's machine, especially if other projects do. @ amlz, It is Audacity 1.2.6 that you are using and not an even more ancient version? If so, ...

Depending on what exactly it won't do, that may be a red herring

Re: Vibrato and EQ Algorithms

I'm using it for the software at the link below that I'm developing. An effect I use often in my music is to have a very slow, very subtle vibrato on most tracks, which is what I'll be using it for. That looks really cool. Have you thought of making so that it supports LADSPA plug-ins? There's a lo...

I don't think that's really what myxit is after. A compressor changes (reduces) the dynamics (the range between quiet and loud), but all that is being asked for is to reduce the levels of each track so that the sum is below 0dB.

Re: LAME encoder properties

Yes there is a know bug in Audacity 1.3.5 MP3 export where Bit Rate Mode and Quality choices in Options dialogue are ignored, producing 128 kbps CBR irrespective of what has been selected, and the reported length is often incorrect although the actual length is fine. Hopefully this will be fixed in ...

Re: Vibrato and EQ Algorithms

I don't know anything about C/C++, but I just mentioned it because I know that in certain situations floating point calculations can actually be faster than integer calculations, since modern processors are able to do the floating point calculations in the fpu, while the regular processor is doing s...

Re: No sound when coming through mixer

Is anything showing up on the record or Playback meters?
Any error messages?
Have you perhaps inadvertently changed the default sample rate ("Edit > Preferences > Quality")

Re: Vibrato and EQ Algorithms

Vibrato works Congratulations. all integer math, and no between sample consideration if you're willing to sacrifice a little sound quality for speed. Would using floating point for the modulation wave definitely make it slower? If so, how much slower? Could probably do it with a sine lookup table S...

Re: How to test an mp3 file?

What's the quality like? A recording from YouTube is likely to be fairly low quality. I meant "how good or bad does it sound". You can rip and encode, or record and encode at any kbps that you choose, but YouTube videos already start off as low quality, so even if you record it at 320kbps...
