Re: Error compiling audacity in win10

The biggest problem that I had when building wxWidgets, was getting the environmental variable to stick. Windows appears to be buggy doing this and I had to do it several times before the setting stuck. I'd suggest that after setting the environmental variable, reboot the computer and check that it ...

Re: Error compiling audacity in win10

which one to use when compiling wxWidgets. It's been a long time since I built wxWidgets on Windows (I usually use Linux), but if I recall correctly, I used the GUI and built "wx_vc15.sln". ... I've just checked the Audacity build.txt, and that says (emphasis added): 2) Follow instruction...

Re: Audio making crackling sounds when I record

Do you have any reason why this is? It "should" be possible to get it working at 44100 or 48000 (192000 is rather excessive), but whatever sample rate you choose, it's best (least likely to crackle) if the sample rate is the same throughout (hardware / Windows Sound settings / Audacity se...

Re: Measuring SNR?

Is the Audacity contrast-tool weighted for human-hearing ? No. As specified in WCAG 2.0, it measures RMS (z-weighted). Weighting appropriately for human hearing would be tricky (and likely to be unrepresentative of actual hearing) because the equal loudness contour is very different at "foregr...

Re: Measuring SNR?

to compare the quality and clarity of the recordings Audacity has a "Contrast" tool specifically for this task. It was originally developed for testing speech recordings against Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 . How it works, is that you select part of the background noise...
