Audacity Forum

through the 1/4 inch microphone jack Probably 1/8" microphone jack... Audacity does overdubbing just fine, but the backing track has to be in Audacity. Audacity can't reach out and affect external tracks. So you have to have at least one blue wave track to start, and plain, standard playback h...

If the sibilance is really excessive you could de-ess twice: I wonder how much of this you can help with a sock over the microphone. Too many makers are producing microphones with piercing sound because it's "more professional." It's not professional to need multiple layers of correction ...

If you do find a way around this, do post back. We don't know of one—and this is a forum, not a help desk. If you have more information, share.

You could see it in the processes list in the Task Manager, but nothing there. ........... I went to the Audacity site and downloaded the new version, Did you restart the machine in the middle? I don't think Win7 had two different flavors of shutdown, but we're finding problems with programs "...

That's when it sounds like talking into a wine glass or milk jug. Then it sometimes snaps back to normal and...

PreSonus AudioBox 22VSL I think you hit the jackpot. A single, good quality microphone plugged into one half of a stereo interface. This is no win. You're likely either to get low volume and clipping when you record mono, or Left-Only when you record stereo. Unless there is custom software availabl...

Last time somebody complained about this, they were using a Logitech headset on a Windows 10 machine. Apparently, some versions of Logitech headset have automatic voice processing...and you can't stop it. It doesn't increase forever. It goes from ambient sound to what it thinks is normal, natural vo...

That sounds like Chains, Audacity's Batch program.

Neither Amplify nor Normalize do what most people want. They're simple, brain-dead tools. You might like Chris's Compressor. Chris wrote it so he could listen to opera in the car. https://theaudacitytopodcast.com/chriss-dynamic-compressor-plugin-for-audacity/ I use it to tame somebody else's podcast...
