Audacity | Effects | LADSPA | Live Preview
Jan 21, 2016
Wow, so easy to install, kind of. This is to add many more effects to Audacity - including lots that have live preview - not a preview clip.
Right now, I'm on Audacity 2.1.1 on Windows 7. Download the exe of the "LADSPA plugins bundle installer" from this Google Code page. This will add them into your Plugins folder (see here for info on locating that, if you want to see what's going on in background etc.)
The instructions on the Audacity docs page linked in my previous paragraph seems a bit different to what I did. After you have installed the exe, go to the Audactiy menu and click on Effects, then click on Manage at the top. Then click Select All, then click Enable. And you will now have tons of effects and live preview effects added to your Audacity!
Try it. Play a track in Audacity, go to Effects, the ones with a live preview capability will be NOT GREYED OUT. Play with the controls until you like your sound. Then click App;y to make it permanent.
I've been waiting for this for years. It's the Holy Grail of audio effect editing (IMHO). Just like Cool Edit Pro used to have. :-)

WJEC | Digital Resources

Here's some of the digital resources mentioned in my previous post:
Past Papers for 2017 as separate PDFs
WJEC | New and exciting digital resources!
Jan 19, 2016
It seems that WJEC are creating some fantastic resources for the digital age. There is an existing digital interactive resource section for Mathematics. This can do things like demonstrate "bearings" with a movable diagram.
The newest thing is a system for creating your own digital resources from past paper questions - they're calling it the Question Bank (alternate link). I have been searching for the holy grail for online tutoring - something that can create PDFs of questions that I can then upload to my Scribblar page (to scribble on..). Is this it? I've not checked it yet but I will be very soon.
You can read about all this on the main WJEC Maths page and my earlier post.
