Confirmed. That's a bug. Strictly speaking, it's a "feature", not a "bug". Sound Finder is designed to place the start of labels before the start of each detected sound. Is the design you mention the "Label starting point" or something else? If we are marking a sound r...

I tried to remove one of your unslicks yesterday by adding a clear link for Audacity downloading to the Manual's Front page. Is that now a slick? I think it's unslick. The software download is not a help resource. If we want a download link in the body it should be a small link in the green div abo...

Confirmed. That's a bug. Try replacing "SoundFinder.ny" (in the plug-ins folder) with this version: SoundFinder.ny Thanks. I agree that fixes it. The start of the first label was behind zero. So clicking the label track did not select all of the first label, and so that label was disregar...

Dare I hope that I might be discovering improvements? Thanks for your perusal of the code and your interest, Paul. I am sure the current algorithm can be further tweaked but I am not sure to what extent that tweaking it will solve the basic problem. My impression is that we should be looking at spe...

There is no linguistic problem if we say we are "removing" noise and specifying "how much" we are removing. The effect of "removing" some of the noise is that we have "reduced" the amount of noise. To say that we have "removed" the noise is misleadi...

It seems the workaround is to carefully select over the entirety of all labels using the mouse.

I tried this in 2.0.6-alpha on Windows 8. Generate > DTMF Tones, 1 minute Effect > Fade In so we can distinguish each section of the DTMF Analyze > Sound Finder, default settings except -60 dB threshold, which produces eight labels, one for each section of DTMF Click below the name of the Label Trac...

IMO, the fundamental reason for arguing that Noise Removal should be called Noise Reduction is that Noise Removal is still inferior to Noise Removal/Reduction in other apps. In what ways is it inferior? Don't you get better results (more removal for less artefacts) in almost any other app you try? ...

The truly minimal change would leave a mismatch between names in the code and names in the dialog. Programmers might live with that. Ah, but would it break saved Chain files and preferences? That might make some users a little unhappy during migration. A very good point Paul - a regression with Sav...

I agree with Koz (and others) that it would be a good change just to change the name of Noise Removal to Noise Reduction . As you know I disagree with you all on that. Practical considerations aside, if the effect is called Noise Reduction, then the "Remove" button is misnamed. We choose ...
