I am choosing a csv file - will that not work?

The "Index" column is only created for .txt files.

You could try the Limiter effect (with "Soft Limit" setting).
Amplify the track first (default settings) so that the high points of the tremolo go to top / bottom of the track, then apply the Limiter with default settings. That will reduce the peaks down to -3 dB.

1000, Linear, (File Pathway), Time Indexed, None, Blank, L-R on same Line, Yes. If you select some silence (1000 samples or more) with those settings, AND the file name ends with ".txt", then you will get: 0.00000 0.00000 0.00002 0.00000 0.00005 0.00000 0.00007 0.00000 ... Note that the &...

If you are wanting to create a gentle tremolo, try Audacity's Tremolo effect: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tremolo.html

What settings are you using in Sample Data Export?

With the import, I am getting an error message that says 'The file must contain only plain ASCII text. Invalid byte 255 at byte number:1' Any ideas what this means? What is the first line of the file that you are trying to import? What format is the file that you are trying to import, and how did y...

When I try to export time indexed data I get two duplicate columns of the 'y value' rather than one column with the x values. Are you sure? Try selecting some absolute silence ("Generate menu > Silence"). When it is a mono track with a sample rate of 44100, the exported data should look l...

Personally I think that the message is sufficiently clear as it is. Yes, we could make it more explicit, for example: "Actual sample rate of current recording (Hz)", but we have opted for brevity over verbosity. The fact that the other end of the Selection Toolbar says: "Project Rate ...
