Re: Sound Finder / Silence Finder improvements

Would a "Minimum Duration of Sound" functionality on the "Sound Finder" utility be released on its own as some kind of add-in or would it be incorporated into a whole new updated version of Audacity? Would someone from the Audacity leadership team announce that this functionalit...

Re: Sound Finder / Silence Finder improvements

Had some thoughts about improvements to Silence Finder: 1) Silence Detection Method: Currently, silence is detected based on the peak amplitude being below the set threshold. While this is a simple and easy to use method, it makes the effect rather susceptible to "false triggers" caused b...

Re: Export Multiple Issues

When clicking on Export Multuiple, the file name that seems to be the default is C:Program FilesAudacity 1.3 Beta (Unicode), but I think that must noot be correct. Shouldn't I be sending it to My Music with in My Documents? If you are not logged in as an administrator, you may well not be allowed t...

Re: plug ins intially worked but have since discontinued

Glad it's working (at the moment). Occasionally the Mac version of Audacity has had issues that once you open a dialogue and close it, it's like the dialogue was still open and all the menus are completely greyed out (not just Effects). If Stop has not "registered" properly, most items in ...

Re: plug ins intially worked but have since discontinued

I suggest you download and install this:
http://audacity.googlecode.com/files/au ... 1.3.14.dmg

so we know what version of Audacity you are using, then try again.

Re: The 'Do not recover' option

If the dead drive did not contain "Temp" and Audacity was forced to quit (as seems likely because the Recovery dialog shows) there may be a fully functional project in "Temp". I'm afraid not (assuming Audacity did what it intended). When the project is saved all the .au files go...

Re: The 'Do not recover' option

Can anyone answer my main question of whether clicking the ''Do not recover'' button will lose only the minor changes I made on the 8th The answer to this is "probably" all of the entire project will be lost. If you have any old versions stored on another drive (or on CD/DVD) those will s...

Re: Sound Finder / Silence Finder improvements

Rightly or wrongly I've always assumed that the purpose of "Minimum duration of silence between sounds (seconds)" is to prevent sounds from being split by (relatively) short periods of silence. I have not considered it to mean that short periods of silence should be added to the detected ...
