Audacity Forum

you can make out a few words from it. That's usually the kiss of death right there. If it doesn't "read" now, nothing we do is going to help. If this was, for example, the laptop microphone instead of the higher quality one, you're probably listening to weapons grade echo cancellation and...

Don't forget the dead cat. That's the cover you put over your shotgun to help with wind problems.

Is that normal behaviour?

It is if you appear to be trying to advocate for a cause or sell us something.
Or, since you appear to still be here, you post something for which the elves have no idea, or simply haven't gotten to yet.

Then there's the occasional forum maintenance.

Echoey, noisy, marble floor hotel lobby is aggressively hostile to good recording. That's when you whip out your shotgun microphone. By the way, that's a cousin to trying to record in a hardwood floor, bare wall, modern living room. Given any thought to recording in a restaurant? Pick one without ba...

I found the voice test I did. This is MusicMemo and an iPod. Oh and a tripod. And a quiet room. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/iPod-MicStand-500.jpg There's something slightly off with it but I haven't cranked it up again to see what the problem is. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=...

This is partially a joke picture, but that is a working Shure FP33 field mixer. It fits on your hip. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/shureFP33SoundShoot-650.jpg The headphones are crappy, but the microphone on the right is not. That's a news gathering Beyer M58. The old owner of that mixer bo...

I got pieces. I've been able to make presentable recordings using both VoiceMemo and MusicMemo on an iPhone/iPod. I see by the TV news coverage, that's a popular way to go. Lots of people pointing their iPhones at Senator What's-His-Name. VoiceMemo isn't theatrical. It has environment and noise canc...

as far as I am concern that's fine for my DIY Oddly, we don't only care about the quality. Each different type of microphone can have connection problems and that may be where your noise is coming from. So it goes into my INTERFACE. Which is.....? Is this the same cable that you plug into the Mic-I...

The Audacity default export is Perfect Quality WAV (Microsoft) which is recognized on all three major computer types. That's your music archive. From that you can make any other format including lower quality MP3 for posting or your Personal Music Player. If you need to make corrections, filtering o...

Chris's Compressor. See above.
