Re: Preview button in Nyquist effects

Preview button is not available for analyze plug-ins. I notice though that you can physically add a button to an Analyze effect by adding ;preview enabled I was expecting that code would have no effect. This information will be added to the wiki in due course. I updated the Manual for the button in...

Big Download Buttons are adverts for other products that may contain malware. A difference between your "may" and my "probably", then. ;) As our recommended download site for LAME and FFmpeg says: Banners that look like BIG GREEN DOWNLOAD ARROWS are usually MALWARE. Avoid those ...

Re: adjudting sound levels for all .wav files

It seems that you could approximate "standard", "throughout-the-track" normalization by reducing the "Maximum Gain Factor". When you say that 100% of dynamic range is retained within each section, how long are these sections? Is it the same as a "frame" which ...

Re: What are "EQ Curves for old recordings" for?

If this is a feature request, what is the exact request? I downloaded these curves below and was wondering are they designed to make a song sound old? Not exactly. They are used for correct playback of a recording made from a shellac disc where the recording was made "flat" without any cor...

Re: Noise Filter Removal, When Talking Too Big Of Change

I have been using audacity to remove the hiss from recorded speeches, and it has been working great. But with a particular recording, that sounds just about the same to me, the results are very strange. The hiss does get removed, and it is just about silent, but when the talking starts, going from ...

Re: Help! I would like to use Audacity for my class, But..

I gave my students your site and gave instructions on how to download it. One of my students downloaded it onto their personal computer and it gave their PC a wicked bad virus that completely tanked their computer. Audacity does not do that if you download it from us, but you have to give your stud...
