AB(X) File Comparisons

Post by audioascent » Fri Sep 04, 2009 2:31 pm

Greetings List,

I have an application where I am evaluating the quality of 1 "test wav file" against two "reference wav files" that serve as an upper and lower "anchor". The user will rate the "Test wav file" in relation to the two anchor reference files. (it's not quite ABX but is similar) To do this I need the ability to very quickly switch between all thee wav files.

I have loaded and time aligned all three files into an Audacity project and have been using the "Solo" and "Mute" functionality to accomplish this. However this isn't quite instantaneous and requires the user to click and unclick the Solo button too many times.

Are there any other options to accomplish my goal? Thanks!

-Michael

Use Audacity 1.3.9
Go to Audacity Preferences (Edit Menu) and on the "Tracks" tab set the "Solo" button to "Simple". You will then be able to solo a track with one click.
