Audacity Forum

I once had a paper (ten years ago or something) where was mathematically described why it is not possible with LPC to achieve a better compression than some specific amount (sorry, number forgotten), because the more the compression, the bigger the error, and there is a certain limit where the error...

Sorry, I can't help much with this problem other than to post a collection of DSP resources, where I usually look-up things: DSPRelated - independent internet resource for DSP engineers dspGuru - digital signal processing central I think if you ask on a DSP-math specialized usenet group like comp.ds...

Please note that a simple redirection to a translated start page is not sufficient, because all the links in the navigation bar on the left side will throw you back to the English manual. This means that also the navigation bar must change with every localized version, and this also means that in ev...

Few minutes later - Nyquist 2.29 also produces nonsense on a 64-bit machine:

The "newest" 64-bit Debian Nyquist version is Nyquist 2.29 from January 2003, more than 9 years old.

The Audacity Nyquist FFT functions seem to be seriously broken, with Audacity_2.0.1 on 64-bit Debian Linux I get complete nonsensical values: fft-test : (SEND FFT-ITER :NEXT) = #(4.58592e-37 -1.77112e-37 6.30807e-35 -3.20121e-37 -1.17014e-34 4.19982e-37 1.53482e-34 1.30349e-41 -1.66395e-34 -4.19788e...

Even if this thread starts with extensive explanations why nothing works as wanted, the goal is to find a way how to make it work. I only want to point out all things I already had tried and know that they will lead to a dead end. The following question is from Date time formatting possible? (For la...

Well you'd only need to introduce one new value as we already have len. The "len" variable was a mis-feature, that had been later repaired by putting the length into *warp*, in order to make (get-duration 1) work. Only for backwards compatibility the "len" variable was never removed. I do not want ...

Many hours later: Looking at the Audacity source code I see that in "audacity/src/effects/nyquist/nyquist.cpp" the initial value for the Audacity Nyquist "len" variable is computed from the absolute start and stop times of the Audacity selection, in function "EffectNyquist::Process()": mCurStart[0] ...

No need to apologise, I think we should translate the Audacity manual to pidgin english, then even people like suunchild will have a chance to understand. I would like to thank steve for one of the most entertaining moments in the Audacity forum. :P And my suggestion was meant for serious. See their...
