Re: Noise Gate Not Working

tells me it can't find a file on "C:"
That's the name of your main drive. What did you use as a filename? It's a bad idea to use punctuation marks in filenames. Today is 2018-03-21, not 3/21/18.

_underscore_ and -dash- are OK.

Re: File Specifications - Newbie Question

48KHz is the sampling rate associated with video. 44100 is associated with Audio CD. Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Quality > Default Sample Rate: 48000 > OK. Sometimes stereo/mono is determined by the interface or microphone and you don't have a lot to say about it. If you have an actual stereo sh...

Re: I need to reduce the gain

must not overwrite the project with "Save Project As" That's one of those Programmer/Human Engineering things. Who in their right mind would use Save As: to write corrections to the current project? Turns out quite a number of people. Further, sometimes it worked. Rough to correct problem...

Re: I need to reduce the gain

Hyphens "-" and underscore "_" are OK. Even if your computer accepts other punctuation marks, that's only safe if you assume nobody else will ever see your work. My last serious voice recording went to several versions of all three computer platforms, and that was only the ones ...

Re: I need to reduce the gain

the only time I have seen red is the adverts Adverts are strong performers in the Loudness War. Everybody Knows louder is better and distortion sounds loud. The little red bars in Show Clipping are not an absolute guarantee of distortion. In most file formats, you can't produce sound over 0dB, so t...

Re: File Specifications - Newbie Question

I had difficulty converting from a WAV file to MP3 Audacity doesn't naturally have the ability to create MP3 files, so the Lame encoding software must be added. [email protected], 48khz, Mono Track, Broadcast Complaint. We got the rest of that, what does "Broadcast Compliant" mean? Or better st...

Re: Is this a problem with Audacity or my recording equipmen

Post a sample. 10 seconds stereo or 20 seconds mono. Export as WAV (Microsoft). Scroll down from a forum window > Upload Attachment. Mosquito Whine, also known as "Yeti Curse" is a USB connection problem. You'll never guess which microphone has it the most. We designed a special filter to ...

Re: Remove horrible screeching noise

You can post 10 second stereo (two blue sound waves) or 20 second mono clip (one blue sound wave) of the work here on the forum. Export using WAV (Microsoft) format please. Scroll down from a forum window > Upload Attachment. As a fuzzy, but almost universal rule, we can't take out effects or proces...

Re: help with importing from a flash drive

After you shovel off stuff from your internal drive, you should do a drive health check and defragment it, assuming it's a spinning metal drive. Media Production programs don't much like working over external connections and they don't like drives slow from highly fragmented file management. https:/...

Re: help with importing from a flash drive

This is an Audacity Project.

The AUP file is the Project Manager and the _DATA folder holds all the sound. You need both to put the show back together. If you managed to do it any other way, you got insanely lucky.
