Re: Generating chords

Could you add piano chords as plugin ? In Audacity you can easily generate a wide range of sounds, but generating a realistic piano sound would be extremely difficult. Most high quality piano "synthesizers" are actually "samplers" that use a large collection of audio files conta...

Re: Error code -9986 Internal PortAudio error

I can adjust the built in, which will record. Are you saying that your Mac has a built in microphone, and you select that as the recording device in the Device Toolbar , then Audacity records, but if you select the USB mic, then recording fails with: "Error code: -9986 Internal PortAudio error...

Re: No modules in Audacity 2.3.3 on Ubuntu

I recently upgraded from 2.1.x with the hope of using mod-script-pipe, but it doesn’t seem to be bundled with the Ubuntu package as advertised. I think the only way we can get this fixed is if lots of Linux users write to the package maintainers of Audacity, and ask them to include mod-script-pipe ...

Re: Does 2.3.3 lock up on you?

Virtually 18 seconds into any recording and it stops recording. I don't know if it's coincidence or an indication of where the problem lies, but Audacity store the audio data in blocks of around 1MB, which is about 6 seconds (default settings), so after 18 seconds it will be trying to write the thi...

Re: Problems with recording

Thanks for replying Steve. I've tried using headphones, muting the sound from the computer, disabling the sound device. I did get it to work if I chose the WASAPI setting and Mono, but the MME and other option weather in stereo or mono still get the same results. It's like Audacity is making the so...

Re: Help on a program

There's multiple problems. If you replace the last line with an empty string (two double quotes: "") then the plug-in will run, but it still won't do what you want it to do. The major problem is that the Nyquist command: (get '*selection* 'rms) Returns the RMS value of the track that is se...

Re: Redesign of Effects Menu

Essentially, the design unloads the options from the "Effects" menu and distributes them across three or four proposed menubar items: Filters, Basic, Advanced, and Fades. Audacity used to have an option to group by "category", based on "LV2 Categories" https://wiki.aud...
