Can't a good line on the 'shape' of the echo be got from sampling the end of a 'period' when the echo is all you have? On my particular recording there's many different sounds to look at: short words and long words/phrases, perhaps even exclamations, perhaps even furniture sounds and periods of sile...

Just as recording a signal over itself is additive. Such an addition as that I suppose would be trivial to edit out. Editing out the echoed addition is currently not trivial but that's what we're trying do - not trying to remove the source signal at all, despite the witty phrase. The returned echo ...

Yes, I saw that way of putting it some time ago, when it was first posted I guess. I don't think it is quite accurate.

Thanks for your time and help, I appreciate it. I went to the AUTOSAVE folder and changed the datadir to the current file location. I have the folder, have the .au files, but cannot get Audacity to import unless I do each of the individual ...

I'll give you a simple example why it is so complicated: Imagine a simple addition: 30 + 20 = 50 If you have one of the other variables, it's quite simple to get: 50 - 20 = 30 The "Blind" means that you do not have a second argument, thus you have 50 -0 49 -1 48 -2 .... The value "30&...
