Auto duck

[steve]

I can't get "Auto duck" to work.
I understand what it should do, and I'm trying to follow these instructions: http://www.audacityteam.org/manual/inde ... =Auto_Duck but I just keep getting the error message "Please enter valid values".

Any suggestions?
(Audacity 1.3.4 Windows XP Pro SP2. Both tracks are 44.1/16bit)

Deleting the "audacity.cfg" fixed it.
( ~/Documents and Settings/<user>/Application Data/Audacity/audacity.cfg )

Here is the offending extract from the file:

Code: Select all

[Effects/AutoDuck]
DuckAmountDb=-24
OuterFadeDownLen=0.325
OuterFadeUpLen=0.175
InnerFadeDownLen=0
InnerFadeUpLen=0
ThresholdDb=-30
MaximumPause=-1

"MaximumPause" must be a positive value. Changing it in the GUI did not work, it had to be changed directly in the configuration file (or the configuration file deleted so that it would be automatically recreated by Audacity)
