Is it a mono sound file? One blue wave? If it is, that's the end of the story. Vocal Cancellation works by pitting the left and right sound in a stereo show against each other. It stops dead if there is no stereo show. And even if there is, most of the tools fail if the voice isn't in the exact left...

I'd like to apply the Noise Reduction effect to a large number of files. What sort of files and where did they come from? Knowing that isn't as optional as you think. The Audacity wiki offers a high-level explanation of the Noise Reduction algorithm, but it's too vague to enable precise re-implemen...

-- Phase Cancellation Curse. Some soundcards allow you to capture a stereo (two blue waves) voice performance. We expect exactly the same voice to be on both top and bottom waves. That's not the case in phase cancellation, even though it looks OK. You can tell if you have the Curse of Phase Cancell...

My apologies if the question is too ignorant Or the other option is nobody can figure out what happened. I tried to take this upside down: if somebody paid me to make this happen, what would I do? Beats the heck out of me. I got fuzzy pieces. It's possible to construct an Audacity show from externa...

Just so we don't get too far away from the original problem, post a sample of the voice track that sounds funny. These are the long form instructions. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=72887 I have about 4 tracks in the podcast and I can't delete any of them So if Audacity crash...

the same quality as an original file Unfortunately, Audacity does not have CLIP INFO, so you have to know ahead of time what the original was. It's not a dreadful idea to export the work as WAV (Microsoft), 16-bit, 44100 sample rate. That's one of the "perfect" WAV formats that Audcity li...

Oh yes it does happen.

If you save an Audacity Project, it will know where all your tracks are and give them back when you open the Project. Projects do not save UNDO, so select each valuable performance by clicking just above MUTE and File > Export Selected. You don't have to delete any of the other tracks or MUTE them. ...

Audacity doesn't save UNDO after you close it and Audacity Projects do not save UNDO. So be sure and save backups of the original work in case you make a mistake. Export any valuable performances as WAV (Microsoft).

I'm trying to fade the end of one track into the beginning of another track Import the second performance into Audacity so it forms a second track under the first. Use the TIme Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows) to push the bottom track to the right (later) until only the two parts you want fad...
