Re: Audacity Fade effects

Having worked this new fade (and Steve's multi-fade-in trick) for a while now, let me add my futher 2c worth. The "Pro Fade" which is an out-fade gives a much more satisfactory fade-out to musical pieces than the traditional linear fade. You tend to work it on much longer sections than a f...

Re: Audacity Fade effects

I doubt many users have patience to work a lot harder at fade in than fade out. Perhaps we could publicise the pseudo "log fade-in" trick that I described to waxcylinder (as a tip on the wiki?): http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=185364#p185364 I've been using that trick now to...

BUMP @Koz: you haven't yet responded to Steve's request of how you want to proceed with this.

Re: Adjusting input volume for USB turntable

I have always had to "hum remove" USB turntable recordings (over the course of three different turntables), but this is still easier done than removing the random clickiness that is possible when using the built-in sound device. And that's why some of us prefer to use a good quality TT/ar...

Re: Make Dialog box sticky?

CORRECTION: with Amplify the values are not remembered. When you invoke Amplify it calculates each time the amount it can amplify to take the maximum peak to 0.0 and then populates the dialog box with those values.

Re: Default Values

From looking at the documentation pages in the manual for individual most of them do not seem to either explicitly state what the defaults are (these should always be shown in the image of the dialog box - that is our standard - but we don't tell the reader that. Further I'd always assumed that all ...
