Cool, glad I'm finally getting to workability here.

Ha, yes, I suppose I'd present differently on a rollicking comedy. I'm reading one of my short stories here as a test case before I start recording audio for one of my novels.

Well I tried increasing microphone gain and volume and computer volume and playing back through the computer. It was still hard to locate any change of hum inside the closet when I moved the mic around, and nothing changed when I touched the mic. I did notice a slight change when I got down close to...

Some changes from the defaults that make the Frequency analysis window a bit more useful Ah, got it, now I see the 120Hz spike. Ironically the 120Hz noise is about 4db lower in the middle of your three samples, indicating that moving the mic over next to the monitor moved it away from the source. A...

you want the "Blue" logo to be pointed at you, not the end Right, yep, that's the way I have it set up. I tried the metal-detector technique a little, but couldn't hear the hum. I tried to find it by plotting the spectrum from a few different mic positions, but I'm not seeing any 120Hz spike in any...

After reading your comments and looking again at all the files, I'm starting to think I must have been a tad closer to the mic on track 2. Seems like my overall recording volume was louder in that track. Peak/RMS/Noise: raw recordings: Track 1: -6.0dB / -30.3dB / -70.3dB Track 2: -2.6dB / -26.9dB / ...

I don't see anywhere that you went into Windows settings and turned off the conference and chat auto processing. You're right, I haven't done any of that; I didn't realize it was an issue. I just went through the FAQ you linked and couldn't find any enhancement settings to turn off: I'm running Win...

Oh, looks like when I exported the transitions I only selected the first track of the transition. Let me try again: transition1-2.wav (transition is between "impotent" and "in some ways") transition2-3.wav (transition is between "to lose" and "on the first dais") transition3-4.wav (transition is bet...

Sorry for the late reply, I somehow missed that there had been replies. There are 4 tracks: track1 - recorded Jan12 at 8PM - 5 minutes track2 - recorded Jan13 at 6AM - 10.5 minutes track3 - recorded Jan16 at 5:30AM - 13 minutes track4 - recorded Jan16 at 4:30PM - 3 minutes Here are the transitions: ...

I've recorded a 40-minute production in four different recording sessions (on four different days) and mastered using Koz's instructions http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/ACXMastering/ACXMastering.html . Everything sounds pretty good and meets ACX check, but I have one problem; the transitions between ...

Thanks! I checked out the wikipedia articles: I think I get it now.
