Clicktrack.ny measures length problem audacity 1.3.5

[sun2z_emily]

Hello,

I have problem using the generate click track plugin.
The measure setting has no effect at all, the resulting click track will always be of one measure length.

Using the debug button, a setting of 16 measures gave me one line of this:
[ gc: total 47640, 31722 free; samples 292KB, 0KB free ]
while using a setting of 1000 measures, it will output 15 lines.
I'm not really sure if that is relevant.

Does anyone else is affected by this?

oh, I compiled the source myself, with this setting:
./configure --prefix=$HOME --enable-unicode --with-libsndfile=system --with-libsamplerate --with-libvorbis --with-libmad --with-libflac --with-soundtouch

Im on Ubuntu 8.04 amd64

btw, a simple workaround will be copy pasting them to what I need.
but, if it could be fixed then it will be better.

Effect > Repeat would be a less tiresome workround :=) I can't reproduce on Windows, but can you compile from CVS HEAD which will give you a 1.3.6a1 version number, and see if it helps? Is there a problem with any of the other Nyquist generators?

Thanks

I've had some intermittent problems with the generate effects (including clicktrack) in Audacity 1.3.5 on Windows XP. I've not found a reliable way of reproducing the problems, hence not reported as bugs, but typically it will be that on clicking "OK" a track will briefly appear, then immediately disappear again. I'm now back to using 1.3.4 but will be trying 1.3.6 when it released for Windows.

Wow, thank you.. I had missed that Repeat effect.

I don't understand how to access a CVS, but, I'll read some man pages and try it out later. Meanwhile, i'll just use the workaround.

Btw, the generate click track in 1.34 on windows work fine for me, hadn't try 1.35 on windows.

Code: Select all

; loop measure n [measures-1] times
(setf result measure)
(dotimes (x (- measures 1))
  (setf result (seq result measure)))

I have a suspicion, that there is something wrong with looping the measure at the end. Maybe it's the seq function.

I would like to try to use the Nyquist prompt to loop them manually, so it's like this:
1. I'm going to generate one measure of click track.
2. Select the resulting audio
3. Use the nyquist prompt to loop them using the seq function. seq audio audio audio audio

Problem is, i don't understand nyquist . putting in "seq result measure" gives me an error. Probably because i hadn't define what is result and measure.

Is there anywhere i can see the changelog for the CVS.?

edit;

I can confirm that dtmfrand.ny doesn't work in the same way.It would only output one tone even if I set the "tones" parameter to a higher number.
It uses

Code: Select all

(seqrep (i tones) 

Same thing with randomtouchtones.ny

I guess, there must be something wrong with seq function in my computer here.

Steve, several of us have had intermittent problems with Nyquist length generation in 1.3.x on Windows; I too found it less likely to happen in 1.3.4 but it has happened to me in that version too. It may well be that the Audacity implementation of Nyquist which is old and unimproved for a long time is implicated. I suppose the way to test that is to test the same functions in a Nyquist IDE. Note you can always get a recent Windows or Mac development build from CVS HEAD at:

Emily, you can obtain the latest development code from CVS at:

Ok, thanks for the link there.

I'll check it out.
