Re: Crashes when closing project

A fix was committed 4 days ago for a "crash on close" bug (https://github.com/audacity/audacity/commit/af79017f3a1c62d82f915054896322b396957b7a) I have no way of knowing if this will fix the problem for you, but it sounds like it could be. The fixed bug was due to a "race condition&qu...

Re: Getting voltage data for postprocessing in Audacity

In my previous attempts, it was extremely hard (practically) to retrieve the threshold 0db voltage value It depends what the device is. If you built an A/D converter using an AD1877 chip, and you designed your circuit to have unity gain (x1 gain) on the input, then 0dB for the circuit would be the ...

Re: EQ Missing

The old EQ effect has been split into two effect, the "Graphic EQ" and the "Filter Curve" effect. Both of these should be enabled by default. As you will see in the manual, the "Filter Curve" effect is pretty much the same as the "Draw" mode of the old EQ effe...

Re: RMS Normalize

So once you have the Root Mean Square, do you reverse the math to come up with a scaling factor, multiply all the samples by that scaling factor? It's pretty easy really. Let's put in some arbitrary numbers to see how it works. Converting between linear levels and dB is probably the trickiest bit, ...

Re: RMS Normalize

Do you run through all the samples, square them all, add the squares, then take a square root of the sum, Close. 1) Run through the samples 2) square all of them 3) divide by the number of samples (to get the "mean square") 4) take the square root (to get the "Root Mean Square")...

Re: Getting an alpha-build when compiling the latest Audacity 2.3.3

It looks like the release "tag" was set the days before the build version was set to "release".
The download from here should give you the release version: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/tree/008d8d8c

i want to play backwards ... i dont want the end at the beginning,
Why don't you want to reverse the audio? That would seem the simplest and easiest way to make it play backwards (Effect menu > Reverse). What are you actually doing that warrants playing backwards without reversing the audio?

Re: please help with unintelligible audio

Can the background noise in this section be lowered or eliminated and the voices made louder? Probably not because the noise is so bad that it is drowning out the noise. Please also be aware that there is a forum policy that we do not provide support for covert recordings as doings so raises legal ...

Re: MAC OS CATALINA

Any idea why the workaround doesn't work for me? Try adding permission for the "Terminal" application to use the microphone, then try again launching Audacity from the Terminal. As far as I'm aware, permissions granted to the Terminal should carry over to applications launched from the Te...
