Re: Negative to Positive Decibel Reading

There's no direct correlation between the signal level in Audacity, and the loudness (sound pressure level) that was recorded. By analogy, if you have a photograph of a box, you can measure the size of the box in the picture, but there is no way you can tell how big the real box was unless there is ...

Re: FadeOut N times in a track evenly

Or you could run a Nyquist script in the Nyquist Prompt effect:

Code: Select all

;version 4
;type process

(setf env
  (maketable
    (abs-env (pwev 0.1 0.1 1 0.3 0.9 1 0.1))))

;; Modulate at a frequency of 10 Hz
(mult *track*
  (osc (hz-to-step 10) 1 env))

Re: FadeOut N times in a track evenly

Do each of those "pulses" have a different sound, or do they each sound pretty much the same?
If the latter, then you could manually make one "pulse", then use the "Repeat" effect to make a lot of pulses.

Re: Manglende sertifikat

Ensure that you obtain Audacity via the links on the Audacity website: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/
If that does not fix the problem, then you may need to update Windows "root certificates".

are you talking about exporting the file, then reimporting it?
Oops, no. I meant, use the "Export2:" command. :oops:

The bug has been fixed for the next release (due for release in a few months).
