Audacity Forum

[Moderator note: Topic split from: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=195801#p195801] We do see requests for general distortion effects quite frequently on the forum, but we tend to direct them to either the Leveller effect, or to VST rather than to making a feature request. Perhaps some...

But AutoHotKey is Windows only. Well the request is for global shortcuts. I think such a feature can benefit many people who are using the program, especially since it is possible to implement it from a cross-platform point of view, just like VLC. I've looked a bit further into this. With the versi...

Do you have an insentive scheme where you pay or offer a prize to participate in the listening pannels? Mayve Or tit he software testings... mayve even for free company it is not bad idea to put som e monies aside for it. Audacity isn't completely demonetised. It has costs (for example, hosting thi...

I think it would be worth splitting some of the recent posts here to a "Professional Fade In" or similar topic.

Is there any mileage in entering "%" in the text box to switch format to "% of original gain" (or for that matter, entering dB to switch to dB)? I had considered that, but I think that it makes text entry too complicated. There is little or no scope to make it clear whether the ...

As Nyquist effects are "below the line", would it not be possible to remove Leveller and squeeze in 2 Nyquist effects below the line? Maybe, but I would not bet on it. If you get AGC in and it has some kind of distortion effect, then that kind of distortion is in Audacity. We also get a l...

I'll add the vote for global shortcuts. one issue that may be a problem with enabling global hot keys in Audacity is that it may conflict with screen reader support. Supported global shortcuts on Windows usually have the Windows key modifier, so at least should not interfere with default Audacity sh...

Is the padding silence or almost so? If so, have you tried Analyze > Sound Finder?

The only suggestions I have are to try increasing the "Audio to buffer" in Audacity's "Recording" Preferences (though this would be more likely to help with a USB device); and try the tips here:

I'm not an expert on VST effects, but as I understand it the issue is to do with how the effects handle audio buffers. To provide smooth real-time output the plug-in needs to pre-load data into an audio buffer (typically between 512 and 8192 samples). In the absence of the host program reporting it...
