Audacity Forum

I tried PopMute and it works great so far. So that's exactly what I need. However, getting a command line driven PopMute via audacity looks to be a difficult task. What I am doing is to generate audio files synthetically via text to speech and apply filters on it. So this is not a recorded audio. It looks like I might have to look into trying to mimic the PopGate code via any open sourced code. I don't know nyquist (let along signal processing). If you have any pointers to open sourced code, please let me know. I can find where the threshold levels are violated, but it looks like fixing it gracefully is a different ball game.

You could try another Text to Speech application.

Why must you use the command-line? You could probably treat 1000 or so files at a time with PopMute in a Chain, at the very small cost of opening Audacity and multi-selecting those files.

Otherwise if you don't want to use Audacity scripting you would have to look at SoX or some other command-line tool and use some other suitable effect in that. You may be able to do something with SoX "compand". Ask on the SoX Mailing Lists if you need help.
