Oh, next time when you get to the end of a chapter, segment or speech, Export the work as perfect quality WAV (Microsoft) file. Those are pretty robust. That's your backup if the Project fails.

Yes (he said with great hesitation). If you have a one-pass mono shoot (one blue wave), then it might be possible to resurrect the show by using the time and date tags on the files. If you have a stereo show (two blue waves), then the best we can do is resurrect the show with left and right flopping...

I still can't find it. I'm going to have to shoot one. It wasn't very good. It was a bad free-hand drawing, so it's just as well.

If you run the size control in Plot Spectrum up way higher, you'll find there is a terrific amount of overlap between human voices, even those that to your ear sound different. For example, if both people said " Shshshshsh, be quiet ," then be quiet may be different, but shshshshs from the...

One more piece. Please note the Boom Lady is wearing headphones. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/FieldShoot-w-Boom-650.jpg Somebody should be wearing headphones on a sound shoot. This is a voice recording I shot for an animated movie (you may need to zoom your browser). http://www.kozco.com/pictu...

Two items. Audacity doesn't Play Well With Others. Close any other apps that have anything to do with sound. I'm guessing Premiere is struggling with Audacity for mastery of the sound services. There's a trick to "clearing out" Audacity. Simple reinstalling doesn't do it. Go (top of your d...

Is this one of the microphones with internal battery? you can create a lot of problems with a weak battery. If it's a Phantom Power lavalier, you can get into trouble with a 48 volt microphone trying to run on 15 volts or lower. There is a current sound mixer for sale which claims in big letters &qu...

don't remember mounting it upside down. Doesn't have to be upside down. Sometimes a lavalier is mounted sideways to conform to the lay of the performer's shirt, jacket or top. This totally doesn't work with the directional units. You have to know. That would have put a weird curl in the wire that I...

I'm guessing there was a sharing clash between Audacity and iTunes. We warn people constantly that Audacity does not play well with others. Close down all other apps that have anything to do with sound: Chat, Games, Players, Conferencing, Burners, etc. Particularly Skype. There is a bloody fist-fig...

Audacity will slam together all the tracks you have selected, vertically as well as horizontally. If you have two complete copies of the show, your export is going to overload by 5dB. Audacity doesn't play many games on export..... Mix and Render to a new File. I don't remember where that is. I'm no...
