A high value in either direction will trigger the red bars. In the outside world—outside of Audacity—those are the two places where the digital system "runs out of numbers" and stops following the performance. The damage can be really tiny, fast and high pitched, so if you're old enough to...

We can give it to you as RMS. Equivalent horsepower or the area under the wave.

All that and there's no guarantee it's going to work. There's a long list of conditions that will cause Vocal Removal to fail, and it does fail a lot of the time. Some really odd things like someone added stereo reverb to the main singer, The singer goes but the reverb stays around. That's what happ...

There are odd tricks you can do with Noise Reduction but that doesn't seem to help either. There's an almo...

to specify accurate noise control solutions. There are conditions where flat analysis is handy and they're not obvious. Many USB microphones generate their own very low frequency noise and trash independent of that's going on In Real Life. I'm guessing the makers say: nobody can hear it, so why bot...

I create a rhythm/click track on Audacity. It is strongly recommended you make a straight, simple, plain recording with your live system before you set up for overdubbing. I'm betting your system will not pass simple recording. If you do get a clean recording, then the next most likely problem is s...
