There are two latencies. Machine Latency is the time it takes your live music to go into the computer, Audacity, and come back out again. That one is not adjustable and that's the reason you can't listen to the computer when you perform for perfect overdubbing. You must listen to your external adapt...

Original Audio with aggressive Noise Gate.

Post back if you get something to work and tell us how you did it. As a fuzzy rule, we can't split performances apart into individual voices, instruments or sounds. Leaving a TV on by accident behind your performance is a good way to kill the show. You have a cousin to that problem, although yours i...

Leveler used to be a generic audio processing tool except it did it by brute force distorting waveforms, much like some broadcast limiters do. Much better, more graceful audio production tools were developed and Leveler was going to be put out in the back alley for trash pickup when some of us put u...

am I recording correctly enough to submit to acx? I think so. Test3 goes through the mastering suite and only misses noise by a tiny amount. Plain Noise Reduction 6, 6, 6 brings it into conformance.

I can't see any difference with and without the sock, so the sock doesn't appear to make any audible difference. Someone with better hearing can inspect the clips.

That's the good news. Did you find the two noise errors?

While you were doing that, I was pulling test3 apart. There is still a technical problem. There are two places in the dialog where the microphone made up noise by itself. "Even stars these *** giants of power" 12.85 to 12.90 "Mysterious *** Force" 15.8 to 15.9 In both cases there...
