It is possible to get rid of the 120Hz hum with another mastering step. That's not ideal but it does work. Apply this step first , before you do anything else. Effect > Notch Filter: 120Hz, Q2. Then Equalizer: Low Rolloff... and the rest of the steps. And you may be done. One bad effect of applying ...

"I thought that cards were a frame-up I never would try." The good news is I got the raw performance to pass reasonably easily. It even sounds human. So there's the first two poles of performance success (the third one is client satisfaction). testPatched.wav Screen Shot 2018-02-16 at 16.5...

Audio (and video) production is sometimes the first time a computer has to do a real time job absolutely perfectly with no errors. Not few errors, no errors. The computer can't stop and think about it or go off and do something else for a while. Overdubbing is worse. The computer has to play the bac...

I don't think that is going to happen.

I think you're correct. Sometimes you can remove lead vocals with enough quality for home karaoke messing around, but nobody would do a paid performance that way.

You have two strikes right away. MP3 distortion and no studio masters.

My H2 has a setting that makes the built-in microphone(s) available as a USB microphone. Without that setting, the H2 will appear as a USB storage device for transferring sound files. That's how they got around doing two different jobs with one connection.

I'm fascinated that your voice doesn't have a clear, professional, "in person" quality. It's like you're constantly being filtered through a poor cellphone. I had a thought earlier. Can you post 10 to 20 seconds of your studio performance? I'm clear if it's copyrighted work, etc, but some ...

can it cause interference? Any problems you get from electrical interference is likely to be there all the time, not just when you speak. Crackling only during the voice. Ummmmmmmm.

have any of your own voice loose in the room with you.

By that I mean the playthrough sound from Audacity or any of the other ways of listening to yourself in real time without headphones.

You can get that talking in a pipe sound because of other causes, but those are the normal ones.

of course it sounds like I am in a wine glassl. Not of course. I was able to create a poor, but almost acceptable voice recording using the built-in microphone on my Air.

without distorting the original recording too much. It shouldn't distort at all. Your posted work should be in WAV (Microsoft) and not MP3. You have talking into a wine glass sound distortion and with an MP3, I can't tell where it's coming from. Please try to follow the directions in that page. htt...
