Audacity Forum

A user sent me a couple of Private Messages asking for help with an "Error 4880" when burning CDs. Unfortunately the user does not want to post to the Forum, tell me what application they are burning with, or give operating system details, so I don't know these. We would respectfully ask u...

[When the mouse pointer is within the selected region, but closer to the left edge, it appears to play from the left edge, up to the place where the mouse pointer was when the "B" key was pressed. Here's the full run down: 1 audio track, 30 seconds long, area selected from 10 seconds to 2...

It is an added feature that detects vocal range with the raw voice as the input-- do you think this is possible for audacity? If you mean you are detecting pitch from a live vocal recording as an effect, Audacity will not support this with its current architecture - there are no real-time effects. ...

We've changed the filters in source code so that on Mac, the file filter looks for the correct libavformat.*.dylib, so correctly asks to be directed to "libavformat.52.dylib". Similarly on Linux, the Audacity filter is now "libavformat.so". Those filters should now be correct in ...

i got the source codes from the links you gave, i'll study it first for now. i am more on C++ but as far as my research in audacity is concerned, i found out that you use NYQUIST proglang. is it necessary to use this language in adding up feature in audacity. if that so, i am willing to learn it. I...

you can use "B" to play from the mouse cursor to the end of a selection region I'm having trouble with that in 1.3.6 on Linux. It does not play all the way to the end of the selection. It starts at the cursor, plays for a bit, but stops well short of the end of the selection. Ctrl+Left Mo...

Thanks Steve, for pointing out my typo when expanding the selection edge. I corrected it in the original post. To me though, using CTRL + SHIFT + *right* (and vice-versa) to contract the *left* edge seems unintuitive, even though it's a right-moving direction. I still do it the other way round by mi...

Thanks for your efforts. This is nonetheless the first MSI installer I've come across that doesn't install per-user into Program Files. Anyway, we'll note your link if anyone asks us. By the way, Audacity 1.4 (the next stable version) does not use the Registry for storing its preferences and setting...

Hi You asked about this back in August. Audacity recognises pitch by autocorrelation. The functions we use in the source code are here: http://audacity.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/audacity/audacity-src/src/Spectrum.cpp?view=log and how they are used in Analyze > Plot Spectrum are here: http://audacit...

It seems to be worse (more inconsistent) than that. I'm using Audacity 1.3.6 on Linux (Xubuntu 8.04) and selecting a track by double clicking when "Snap" is selected, the selected region is very inconsistent. With "snap" set at seconds, sometimes it will snap to the the second b...
