Audacity Forum

I find the whole Audacity program far to complicated then it needs to be and It's just not a very usable friendly program

You should probably find a different program.

And the only oddity about using either of these techniques is magically creating a stereo show which isn't obvious until you Export the work and then open it again. The exported sound waves and the created show don't match.

But you knew that was going to happen already.

You know what A is. That's fingernails on blackboard and baby screaming on a jet. That's A weighing.

If you're talking about live performances, that's in Sound Pressure Levels or SPL. You can measure that with an SPL meter. http://kozco.com/pix/SoundLevelMeter.jpg And yes, those values do go positive. In that example, the knob is set for 90, so "0" on the meter is +90dBSPL. That's the one...

I've determine the missing value (through advanced maths). Comfortable reading volume should fall somewhere between -6dB and -10dB on the bouncing sound meter (roughly the yellow segment), and the blue wave peaks somewhere between 50% and 30%. And just to give you the feel of why we use dB at all in...

If you have a serious Windows problem, you're right out of my world. I'm not a Windows person.

You can walk the chip over (if you have a chip mounting device) or plug the H2n in via the USB cable and pull the files over that way. If everything is healthy, either way works. It's very highly recommended that you make safety copies of all original work. While the work is on the H2n, the H2n is t...

Happy you're all working.

I'm not sure why I never ran into this. I do download files and never had the machine try to "convert" them to text files.

I can show you how to measure these tones, but I'm on the wrong machine, in the wrong place. " Though your face is charming, it's the wrong face " Then you won't get along with Low Rolloff for Speech , either. It changes some audible vocal tones. It's usually OK because it solves a number ...

If you're doing spoken word, it is recommended that the sound meter peaks at between -10dB and -6dB and the blue waves tips are around 50%. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/AudacityRecording-650w.jpg Note that's with the waves in percent. If you reach 0dB outside of Audacity , the sound will b...
