Audacity Forum

While Audacity is playing back a selection, I can move the start and end of the selection with the mouse, but those changes don't take effect until after I stop playback and start it again. It would be really nice if changes to these selection boundaries could be respected "live" - that way I could ...

Thanks for the prompt reply. Press "Enter", then "Space" (or "Enter" then "Shift + Space"). OK, that's a workaround, I agree. That would be possible, but then you would need to do something else (what?) to open the label before editing the text, which would be an inconvenience every time you want to...

I just discovered the behaviour of Audacity when it comes to label marker ranges and selections (I was about to ask for it and thought I should really check if it already there!). Anyway, the issue is this: - If I select a region on a track, and press Ctrl-B, Audacity creates a label that spans the ...

Of course accessibility has always been an important issue in Audacity and Audacity should be just as usable for non-mouse users as for mouse users. I'm not sure that you can ever make it "just as usable", but if RMC menus make it more functional without impacting on existing functionality, then I ...

seriously though, what do you think about the idea of using the existing click track settings and applying it to a selections?

other than "Apply click track to segment", no, not really ;) The trouble is, most everything in the existing dialog is useful too. A plug-in which took only one parameter (the number of measures) would be possible, if by default it used the existing click track settings (essentially everything excep...

I find that applying a click track successfully to an existing recording is quite time-consuming, basically because of the trial-and-error process of specifying the tempo. It gets harder the longer the track is, or the less accurate the tempo stability in the original. Would it be more useful to spe...

OK, that's pretty much what I am talking about. Either a pair of fields: Beats per minute From: _______ To: _______ like in the Change Tempo dialog, or (in the Sliding time scale/Time shift dialog ) you could have Speed Multiplier fields next to the Percentage Shift fields and have them linked so ch...

Brilliant! I just tried it and the results are much, much better. Thanks. In fact, as a test I slowed down a track to half-speed, then used the function again to speed it up to the original tempo, and the results were pretty much indistinguishable from the original. As an aside, I do find the way th...

I use this effect a lot for producing half-speed versions of recordings or learning purposes. It's pretty easy to use, but the quality is lacking, I suppose due to the trip into the frequency domain and back again. It occurs to me that the case of slowing a recording down by a factor of exactly 2 co...
