Hi! It was an amazing discovery, that Audacity now supports spectral editing - arguably one of the most fundamental features, especially if you want to synth custom sfx for your project or edit some badly recorded material from https://freesound.org My complain is that it is very obscure and tedious to use in its current form. You have to separately enable spectral selection and use "Spectral edit ..." tools under "Effect" menu. I.e. you can't just press Del to clear the frequencies or use Draw Tool (F3) to paint your sfx with mouse. So I think it would make Audacity order of magnitude more useful, if it copies UI from Sony SpectraLayers, together with layers, which works just like a raster editor, but unfortunately lacks waveform editing capabilities. Also, it would be nice feature to export spectrum plot into png files, so people could edit it in GIMP and then import back into Audacity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot *********** ASKING FOR HELP ************* When asking for help on this list, please include the following information, so we can help you properly: * What operating system you are using (for example, Windows XP or Mac OS X 10.5.1) * Exactly what three digit version number of Audacity you are using (Help > About Audacity, or Audacity > About Audacity on a Mac computer) * If this is a recording problem, what equipment you are recording with, and how is it connected to the computer?
