Re: Conditional Replacement by Silence

I'd certainly be interested if you could share how would you approach the task programmatically. Happy to. Rather than cutting and splicing, I'd create a "control signal" to modulate the selected audio. Digital audio is a sequence of evenly spaced "samples", and a "sample&q...

But I can probably find a "bloated" copy if that would help.
I'd be interested to see that if you can find one and upload it somewhere.

Re: Keeping Multiple Versions of Audacity Under a Single User

For most users, it is not recommended to have multiple versions under a single user account, but it is necessary for people that are testing new versions. To use multiple versions, download the ZIP version rather than the EXE version. Extract the contents of the ZIP archive to your hard drive, anywh...

Re: Buzzing while speaking

From the first audio sample: First Track000.png Notice the spikes (there's one near the start of the selected region and one near the end of the selected region, plus two others in the screenshot). The spikes are all pointing towards zero. I think this explains why the distortion is only noticeable ...

Re: Audacity does not prompt for microphone on Catalina

I am having this issue with Audacity not asking for permission to use my mic. I tried the Terminal trick and it is still not working. Any advice?? When you install the current version of Audacity (2.4.1), you should be prompted on first run for permission to use the mic. The current version of Auda...

Re: How to be sure project is saved?

I don't know of any other program that makes a storage system manage thousands of individual, tiny files in sequence like this. Despite the drawbacks, it is an (almost) unique stroke of genius. It's because of the thousands of individual "blockfiles" that you can delete or modify a couple...

Re: Conditional Replacement by Silence

I noticed the labels below the track. Was your approach based on first labeling the (somehow previously set/bounded) sections in order to finally silence them leveraging on the list of labels? Looks neat, anyways. That was just an illustration (done "manually") There's already a plug-in t...

Re: Files Won't Open

You could try the new "release candidate" for Audacity 2.4.2. This is a pre-release version, so if you try it you should watch out for the official release which is expected within the next couple of weeks. It's available from here: https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity-devel.html Alternatively...

Re: Small skip at start of MP3

This issue is fixed for the soon to be upcoming 2.4.2 release. There's a big and important caveat to that: An MP3 exported from Audacity may loop (almost) seamlessly in Audacity, but there is no guarantee that it will loop seamlessly in other applications . If the other application does not support...

Re: Macro Switches Track Focus

It seems to be consistent with other commands (such as applying an effect) ... When I manually apply an amplify effect or another effect to a second or third track, the focus stays on the second or third track – so I’m not sure what you mean. What I mean is that if you replace "Delete" in...
