I proposed a translation to French myself a few weeks ago but had no
answer....

I hope you or me could work on a translation to French.

A snapshot, which I hope to keep uptodate is online.
It's a first impression, and yes, please voice your ideas, concerns and ease of
use reports right here on the list.

The effects page doesn't have much in it yet.
The glossary is one I need input on especially. I've only just started, so I'll
write a few things myself in time, but keep those ideas coming.

Also, if someone has some more ideas for tutorials, let me know.

Daniel, if you'd like your tutorial integrated, send along your pages.

Finally, this snapshot is downloadable in a ZIP file as well for easy browsing
at home.

Here are the links:

It seems Lycos is slow to actualy have the pages online, so I'm sending a copy
to Dominic to put up on the main webpage as well.

 Tony

I don't see them on Lycos yet, so I put them online here:

   http://audacity.sourceforge.net/newdocs/contents.html

Tony, thanks again for all of your hard work!

The fancy titles for "Introduction" and "Reference" are fine,
but the one for "Tutorials" is distracting.  Let's just use
the same style.  Aside from that I like how much more
visually appealing it is!

Have you made any progress with your "deCSS" code?  (heh-heh!)
i.e. something which replaces your CSS tags with ordinary
HTML color tags, etc.?  I think this would be a fine solution;
the CSS source is easier to work with, but we could still have
a (slightly simplified) version of the docs in the online help.

Jayne,

One area where we could use help is updating our documentation for the
impending new release.  If you are interested in helping there, email us
back and our primary documentation writer will give you more details. You
will need to get a preview release to work with, so let us know what
platform you are using (mac/win/linux).

Even a little thing like proofreading the help files for spelling and/or
grammar errors would be helpful as well.

Another way to contribute would be to pick a common task that might be
difficult to someone new to digital audio, and create a tutorial.
Something like removing noise, applying an echo effect, or using audacity
in a presentation program like you mentioned. There are a few
such tutorials in the documentation and on the website, but there could
always be more.

The tasks that get performed are normally ones that are of greatest
interest to the writer/coder, so it is really up to you what you choose
to work on. Let us know if you start working on
something and we may be able to give you pointers.  I'm sure that whatever
you can do will be greatly appreciated by Audacity users (and developers).

Stm...

Tony, were you planning on releasing some docs with 1.1.1?  We didn't
release any docs with 1.1.0, and I was assuming we'd let another
release slide, since the interface has been changing so much it's
impossible to keep up.

I'm happy either way, but I wasn't planning on working on the docs
for this release.  I'll probably add a few paragraphs to the
README that describes the new features briefly.

By all means drop the bomb on me before anyone else. I can add a few things to
the 'Stuff on Screen' section(exchange that terrible glasses icon for one).

Anyone here please add changes made from 1.0 to 1.1.1 .

I need to incorporate them in to the tutorials.
How are we for savable keyboard maps ?

Any wanting to help out, please do and tell this list about it.

Btw, Audiounit fx are coming in. This could get interesting.
A brand new killer of a compressor is coming for VST Windows and Mac too. The
Fish Fillets pack contains the Block Fish. The big problem with our VST support
is, that we have NO GUI support.

If someone can implement this, it'll automatically give us access to loads of
high quality plugins out there. Isn't there a VST->Linux LADSPA adapter ? And no
savable presets.

Anyway, please list the changes.

It also seems you're all prefectly happy with the docs. Is that actualy the
stone cold truth ?

 Tony

> Anyone here please add changes made from 1.0 to 1.1.1 .
Here are things that I know about personally:

Edit Toolbar (including a new 'Trim' function).
Tooltips appear in Statusbar.
Vertical cursor follows play/record
A non-functional pause button
Drawing function (three different modes)
Vertical Resizing of stereo tracks is more fun.
Adjust selection by click-dragging selection boundary
Toolbar button context-sensitive enabling/disabling 
Better zooming functionality (centers region)
Support for many many plugins in Linux

There are others that I am aware of, but have had no hand in:


Configurable Menu shortcuts 
Reporting of Selection and cursor positions in multiple formats
Snap-to selection mode
Drag tracks up and down 
History Window 
Display now shows RMS (no, not that RMS)
New Ruler
Better plugin organization (and LADSPA plugins for Linux)
All the underlying sound improvements (floating point, etc.)
Better support for different file formats

I'm sorry to say this, but I don't read the docs very often, so I can't
really tell you. There is a lot of information there, which is great.
There do appear to be some things that come up again and again on the
-help list. Maybe answers to such FAQs could appear more prominently on
the front help page?

To audacity team
I am writing to suugest somethings,
In the next version of audacity include a proper sound mixer with better sound effects, (take a look at nuendo`s).
Also you should make it into more a pro recording software, but have a button to turn to "classic view".
You have to go for more of a studio look,but most importantly KEEP IT FREE, try make a program better then nuendo or reason but be absaloutely free!
Best wishes Const

I don't really see a trial version for nuendo. So you'll probably need to
hash out your request a bit better (perhaps with some screenshots or videos
if you have nuendo?) for us to be able to do anything about your request.
