Re: De-Essing with Audacity

And another trick. Nobody cares that you're presenting your single voice in stereo (two blue waves). That and even in fancy-pants multi-channel surround theatrical presentations, the dialog is always carried by the single center channel. As in the forum test instructions, reduce the work to mono as ...

Re: De-Essing with Audacity

hence the mp3 (for listening / example purposes only. We only know what you tell us. The other way to do this for longer clips is a file presentation service, DropBox or other. If you do that, make sure The Whole World can see and download the work without giving away any personal information or st...

Re: Installing ACX Checker

ACX Check appears under Analyze, not Effects.

Are you using Audiobook Mastering or some other pre-baked process for producing your work? It's almost impossible to announce directly into ACX Standard and the regular audio tools can drive you nuts.

Re: De-Essing with Audacity

Aucacity 2.3.3
Before you do that, it's a good idea to be using the current Audacity. 2.4.2.

Re: De-Essing with Audacity

Where were we.... I applied the smallest possible Noise Reduction and your clip passes Audiobook technical standards. Screen Shot 2021-02-15 at 5.06.42 PM.png Actual voice quality could use work because I think we have bad interaction with multiple MP3 passes. Never do production in MP3. First pass,...

Re: De-Essing with Audacity

Like that? Allure mp3 needs de ess sampleRepaired.mp3 That's a combination of tools. I applied Audiobook Mastering to set the volume and get rid of rumble, and then DeSibilator, not DeEsser. I can't do the explanation right now. I have to leave for a while. The sample could use other patches as well...

Re: Audacity, Zoom US, an audio interface AND a perfect mix. Is it possible?

Tascam US-4x4HR USB That's not a mixer, is it? It's just a really good four channel preamp and interface. Then it's easy. Figure out how to make Audacity record all four individual channels on the separate computer . Plug Skype Voice into the third channel. You'll need two headphones plugged into t...

Re: The age old crackling problem

I think this is where we fall back on the forum format. This isn't a help desk. This is a forum with users helping each other. We can wait for someone else that has an M-Audio air 192|4 to post comments or a solution.

Re: Audacity, Zoom US, an audio interface AND a perfect mix. Is it possible?

the caller on Zoom US to hear us through the Tascam interface and mic-set up I think you talked yourself into a multi-channel mixer right there. We should remember the computer only has a Record and a Playback sound pathway, and Zoom needs them both. It insists on it. Have a happy day. I did discov...

Re: Audacity, Zoom US, an audio interface AND a perfect mix. Is it possible?

This is actually how to do Mix-Minus. SkypeRecorderSetup.jpg The Skype computer gets Special Handling. This doesn't show the regular microphones. That would just fuzz up the explanation. Plug the Skype voice into the mixer. It gets mixed along with everything else, other microphones, music, etc. Sen...
