Audacity Forum

the past week or 2 weeks I had gotten an update for audacity on a daily basis. either running apt-get update/upgrade or initiated by Ubuntu software updates app. Presumably that is the "Audacity Team Daily Build", which despite the name is a build that Ubuntu provide. If I was in your sho...

weird. yes this was built from source. I have previously posted about the reasons why I had to install the alpha build..I'll put links to some of the previous threads. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=305622#p305622 I understood that related to "AVLinux" where you built 2.1.2...

There is a simple proof. With Audacity's Default Sample Format set to 32-bit float, set the "Files of type" filter in the import window as "MP3 Files", and the MP3 imports as 32-bit float. Set the filter to "FFmpeg-compatible files" and the MP3 imports as 16-bit. That ...

I can only provide the empirical observation that the audio has 29 bit after decoding. Or in other words, 3 bits of the possible 32-bit float number aren't used. I have no idea what happens in the final decoding state, whether zero padding is applied or whatever. Thanks, Robert. So I read from that...

Audacity's built-in MP3 decoder is able to decode to 32-bit float format, so when the Quality Preferences are set to 32-bit float (recommended), that's what it will do. According to http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/ libmad (Audacity's built-in MPEG decoder) has "24-bit PCM" output. So...

Look there for choices to do with individual tracks, and in Tracks menu at the top of Audacity for choices to do with all selected tracks (or all tracks if the menu item states that).

If the freeze occurs during playback or attempting to stop or start playback, the problem is probably pulseaudio (the "default" device choice in Audacity) if you had been trying to use that. See http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Linux_Issues#pulse . From your screenshot, I notice you have ...

Does "64b" mean 64-bit?

Does it make any difference if you run 2.1.3-alpha-Jun 21 2016 before 2.1.3-alpha-Jun 22 2016?

If 2.1.3-alpha-Jun 21 2016 is already running when you launch 2.1.3-alpha-Jun 22 2016, does that action switch window back to 2.1.3-alpha-Jun 21 2016?

I have found it relatively easy to reload audio with avidemux, but *usually* there are audio synchronization problems afterwards. I suspect AVI format will be more prone to that than other formats. I'd benefit from better advice There are many excellent specialised forums online like http://forum.v...

The bit -depth code I've provided at another place does usually report 29 bit for an imported Mp3 file. This corresponds to a bit depth of 14.5 bit which is in accordance with the specs. I am not totally clear about "corresponds to", Robert. Is that about the capability of the decoder, wh...
