Re: Help for total newbie - meeting recorded with insanely low volume

With Audacity, you could amplify the track, which will allow you to pick out a few words. Audacity is not able to recover much more than that. If it's OK to record the meetings, you would do best to let the other parties know that you are recording, so that you can place your recorder / phone where ...

Re: Convert Label text to LRC file

Although Nyquist is a form of Lisp, it is based on a very small version of Lisp called XLisp. Other, bigger versions of Lisp (such as "Common Lisp") have many language features that are not part of XLisp. The XLisp manual is here: https://www.audacity-forum.de/download/edgar/nyquist/nyquis...

Re: Recording electric bass without a bass guitar

You could play the bottom 4 strings of your guitar in the style of a bass player, and then use "Change Pitch" effect to lower the pitch by an octave (12 semitones).

Re: Wave file format metadata extension

For WAV files, Audacity exports metadata in a RIFF INFO chunk for all seven default tags plus "Copyright" and "Software". It also exports all the entered tags as ID3 tags.

Re: Stereomix not working to record Skype calls

It'll record everything right up until the call connects, I get the Skype "ringtone", but when it goes through to a regular phone and someone picks up - nothing. What am I doing wrong? It's not you. It's Skype changing the audio input settings. Skype wants to use the microphone, so it cha...

Re: 1:1 input to output conversion ???

So I ran across this article That's an "advertisement" rather than an objective / informative article. They are advertising their "Amazon Music Downloader" software. As such, they need to say something "bad" about other products. All of my MP3s are 320. Don't bother co...

Re: Convert Label text to LRC file

(with-open-file ... Where did that come from? error: unbound function - WITH-OPEN-FILE That means that the function "with-open-file" is unknown. It's not a valid function name. The function you need for opening a file is "open". See: https://www.audacity-forum.de/download/edgar/...

Re: anti-alias filter in sampling/resampling

For scientific use, you may have some different requirements. Unlikely that you will get significantly better anti-alias filtering in any hardware or software. The soxr library is exceptionally good. The main limiting factor for Audacity is that it is "only" 32-bit float, so the noise flo...

Re: Wave file format metadata extension

I'd suggest that you use FLAC format, as it has much better support for metadata than WAV.
