Hi everybody.
Is it possible organize audacity (1.3) effects in groups? Just like categories as "Filters", "Delays/echos", "distortions", "pitch", etc.
Thanx

Audacity 1.3.x is now obsolete. Please use the current Audacity 2.1.x version.
The final version of Audacity for Windows 98/ME is the legacy 2.0.0 version.

In 1.3.6 the effects were organized into groups - for 1.3.7 the developers appear to have reverted to the un-grouped menu.

Re: Organizing Effects (Group)
We will turn grouping back on when we have implemented a way for users to turn it on and off. That's not a priority as the grouping was unpopular, because it increased the navigation effort to get to individual effects.waxcylinder wrote:In 1.3.6 the effects were organized into groups - for 1.3.7 the developers appear to have reverted to the un-grouped menu.

Re: Organizing Effects (Group)
Thanks for that insight Gale. I personally find it easier to work with the ungrouped list.

Re: Organizing Effects (Group)
I personally find it easier to work with grouped lists (lots of plug-ins) but would like to be able to customize the grouping for LADSPA plug-ins as well as Nyquist plug-ins.

Re: Organizing Effects (Group)
We are intending that ultimately but it's likely to be more complex, and would delay reintroducing grouping for longer. In any case grouping of LADSPA plug-ins does not yet work at all on Windows (but does on the other platforms), so that needs to be fixed too.stevethefiddle wrote:I personally find it easier to work with grouped lists (lots of plug-ins) but would like to be able to customize the grouping for LADSPA plug-ins as well as Nyquist plug-ins.

Re: Organizing Effects (Group)
Part of grouping has to be the ability to assign a hot key.
Noise Reduction is a process where you go back and forth into the tool multiple times to change values. In 1.2 it's a two-step process. In 1.3 it's four or five because of nested groups. You don't need many passes to realize what an intense time waster that is.

Re: Organizing Effects (Group)
I agree we should give more consideration to raising the priority of doing that. It's more generally useful than grouping.kozikowski wrote:Part of grouping has to be the ability to assign a hot key.

Re: Organizing Effects (Group)
A hot key for "Recall last effect" would help a great deal when using Noise Reduction.
("Recall Last Effect" = bring up dialogue screen/GUI for the last used effect)
