Re: Normalize and DC offset correction

Using INTEGRATE for computing the DC component is a great speed improvement, and usually it's even sufficient to compute the DC component of a few seconds of a sound, because the DC component never changes, otherwise it's no DC. This gives room for further speed improvements. But again reading varia...

Re: Nyquist FFT Tutorial Help

Sounds like bug 336... Yes, Nyquist is not 64-bit compatible, where the major problem is that the XLISP garbage collector is hard-coded to 32-bit memory pointers. I'm wondering all the time why Audacity Nyquist plugins do not produce serial crashes on 64-bit computers. But I have still not seriousl...

Re: dUSt: Dynamic Universal Sweeper Toolkit

The bug is that FORCE-SRATE does'nt check for zero or negative numbers. With Audacity_2.0.1 alpha on 64-bit Debian the following code in the Nyquist prompt deletes all selected samples from the Audacity audio track: (force-srate 0 s) Or maybe this is another 64-bit bug and the code wors on 32-bit sy...

Re: Chebyshev Type I and Butterworth HP & LP Filters

Thanks a lot for the plugin, works great. The naming convention in Smith (1997) of the a and b coefficients is reversed compared to Nyquist. I will try to check the Nyquist biquad implementation against the math in Steven W. Smith's DSP book. The numbers in the online version of the DSP book are ver...

Re: dUSt: Dynamic Universal Sweeper Toolkit

Is there anyway to change that control rate in Nyquist? The general pattern for changing global XLISP variables temporally is using PROGV , for example: (progv '(*control-srate*) '(*sound-srate*) ; the code inside PROGV uses *control-srate* = *sound-srate* ) ; end of PROGV automatically restores th...

Re: Help in other languages

Perhaps they are "hopeful" ... Of course they are hopeful, because there is a big headline "Where do I get the German Audacity manuals?" and then inside the text box there are two small links to the alpha manual and the outdated German manual, and 95% of the page are detailed explanations "How do I...

Re: Help in other languages

... possibly German? In the last three weeks I had more than 1000 clicks on the text box in the German forum, but not a single translation volunteer. The German forum has approx. 4500 members, so to me this reads as "approx. a quarter of the registered users are not interested in having a German tr...

Re: Help in other languages

First of all: Thanks to steve and waxcylinder for offering their help. Unfortunately the email discussion had become a little bit off-road, and we have missed to inform all other people about the results. The German problems are partially produced by me myself, because I had maintained a separate Ge...

Re: Modify Plot Spectrum

The only way to change the "Plot Spectrum" in the Audacity "Analyse" menu is adding new functions to the Audacity C/C++ source code. The builtin Audacity Nyquist FFT functions are broken (see this thread ), so writing a plugin with already builtin Audacity Nyquist functions is currently not possible...
