Audacity Forum

Okay, I'm not the OP, but that helps a lot, thanks! I spent quite some time struggling with the UNDO function while working with the "trial and error" methods I usually go with... But from now on, I'll research first, and then do stuff. Plus, working on Audacity is just a hobby, I'm always...

Great, I'll go to bed smarter than I left it this morning!

Not likely. "Mains hum" is essentially a problem concerned with the power supply. In computers and recording equipment, that gets converted to DC, then everything runs off the DC. Looking closely at the waveform, the 60 Hz appears to be in the form of pulses, so my guess is that westmoors...

I don't think the noise cancelling headset will work with the breathing sounds... And external, mechanical noises already have a solution with the noise reduction tool. Now that's a hard one; the low tech, difficult option is to try to control it while re-doing the recording, but I understand that i...

Sounds great to me, it's a good example of what Audacity is capable of! I'd be curious to hear what the forum's other artists have created as well...

I had the very same issue when recording my wife's Ph.D thesis defence, we recorded it on a dictaphone and on my phone, but two of the professors were talking loudly t...

There's free plugins which do that e.g. Multiply.

Thanks for the recommendation, I've installed it and it works fine for me; it made my work much faster...
