Commands and their hovertext

James wrote:

If you edit the hovertext templates on http://alphamanual.audacityteam.org/man/Commands (but nothing else in those tables) I can pick up the changes and re-use them.

There is a note at the top of the page explaining how they work.

Normally the first sentence IS the hover text, and you use 'short' for the hover text and then 'ext' for what follows. If however they need to be different, then you use 'short' and 'full'.

So if you want changes to be remembered in the image maps, make them in the command table.

Tutorial for CD remixing

This is a link to a draft tutorial for remixing a commercial CD: User:PeterSampson/Tutorial: Re-mixing a CD - Mock Up Version-1
This tutorial was originally written by Audacity user Chuck Moore ( Cfmoore1 ) who wanted to remix some Beatles 2009 Remastered CDs, the early ones which were originally mono but which the studio re-released in 2009 in a pseudo-stereo mix. The studio mix is indeed somewhat odd as it places the instruments on one side of the sound stage and the voices on the other. Sounds ok-ish on speakers if you don't listen closely - but sounds distictly odd on headphones. Chuck undertook for his debut project with Audacity a remix of Please Please Me and has recently finished With The Beatles. His objective was to create a more natural sound stage by taking sound clips and remixing (ambitious for a starter project). I gave him some help with this via the forum and through some PMs. I asked him if he would be good enough to write up his process as a tutorial; this is his draft (which I will Wiki-ise with Wiki markup formatting) - once that is done I will be seeking feedback from the manual "list". He says "I do not mind people putting their knives to what I wrote. The procedure is right but if the wording does not convey to the reader what I did then it needs to be changed."

  • Peter 18Jun10: Following f/b from when I first floated this tutorial idea I agree that it is not appropriate for the manual as it is too specific - accordingly.I will probably transfer it to the Wiki at some stage when I get some free time.
