Windows 11: For to adjust the frequency-curve of the audio-file, there opens a sort of pop-up window, alas always in the most little size, i must enlarge it with the mouse, on both sides, and up- & downwards, what costs every time much time. For some songs, i do that 15x, so imagine the time loss.
Is there a way to adjust the size-setting for that window, in a way it opens directly in an enlarged size?
If not, then could somebody introduce that feature?
It would too be a solution if the program would simply remind the size of the last time, then one would only need to adjust it one time per session, and from then on, it would always directly open in that size.
I have had that problem with many programs ever since I switched to a 4K monitor. I have to get closer to the screen to read the pop-up dialogue.
I can change the scale and resolution of the display and get modal pop-ups that are easier to read, but I lose some of the 4K resolution when I do that.
If I am interpreting your post correctly, this is a problem with the operating system, and is not specific to Audacity.
Operating system is Windows 11 Home 24H2, 64bit, with 12th gen i7-12700 (2.10 GHz), audacity version 3.7.4
When i open the Filtercurve-EQ, the window that then pops up has the size of a little less than a quarter of my screen. And i would like that it is as big as the entire screen or only a little less than the entire screen.
As i described in my original post, i have every time that i open this EQ to enlarge this window with the mouse. The window does not remind the next time i use the EQ the size it had just 30 secs before, but i must again with the mouse make it bigger.
Open the pop-up window, resize it where it is comfortable, then hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys and then click the button to close the dialogue.
Try opening the pop-up window again, and see if it opens the same size as it was when you closed it.
This trick does not work on every program. Some only do it if you hold down Shift while closing the window, and some only do it when you hold down Ctrl when you close the window. Holding them both down has you covered either way.
If this doesn’t work, Audacity is one of those programs that doesn’t save the window dimensions when you close with a key engaged.
I use Audacity since 3 computers, and i do not remind a version or a PC where this window popped up differently. It has always around 1 quarter of the size of the screen, one must use the mouse for to enlarge it to full screen, and when one uses it the next time, it is again as little as the first time.
So really i beg kindly those people that make audacity to change that in a way i described in my original post: or that one can chose somehow that it always is larger, or that at least this window remembers how the size was when it was closed the last time.
I use both, the audacity EQ for the basic, and TDR at the end. I really need the audacity EQ for certain works.
I have TDR installed since ten years, the best free version was for audacity 2.1.2. Alas for 3.7.3, the free version does not more run in real time. One must first change the filter, then listen to the result. That´s the cause why i have two versions of audacity installed, the 2.1.2. for TDR and 3.7.3..
I downloaded now Shapeit, but alas, it offers only a VST3 and an AAX - both are not compatible with audacity 3.7.3. So i stay with TDR. And must run the old audacity v.2.1.2 so that TDR functions realtime.
Man, thank you. I am old and stupid. Lol. Did not know that i can open there TDR Nova in real-time-function (where is the head banging against the wall-smiley?).
Still i fight with the popup-window, but this tip is worth a lot
Returning here rapidly only for to tell you that i installed meanwhile the Shapeit-EQ too and i like it. A little more complicated than the TDR, but more bands. TY for the hint
I don´t think i need this tool. But do you know a plug-in with which i can in realtime / while listening change the playback speed (without affecting pitch) in the range from 0-4%?
The idea is while listening to be able to change the speed in this range with a slide-controller or a turning knob (like the De-Ess-plugin), and find out where it tastes to me (like -1,8%, or -0,7%), to be able to read the slow-percentage, and then i would use the tempo-effect for to stretch the audio and store it with that speed-change.
I play guitar by putting songs in my stereo and then i accompany the song, and i like to slow down the song a bit, mostly in the range between -0,8 and -1,4%, but there exact to three digits behind the comma, like -0,804% or -1,327%. I would need a plugin that in this range is the most exact possible and shows the slow down-rate in percent. If it is with 2 digits behind the comma, it is enough, the fine-tuning i can then make with the tempo-change-tool.
The playback slider-application in audacity is not very practical, it is only sufficient for to get a very coarse idea, and the more it is not showing percent.
