Re: Having a problem with ACX RMS spec

Your miracle MosquitoKiller program Yes, well. I wrote the "work order," but I'm neither the programmer nor the developer. It doesn't work on all mosquitoes, either. You got lucky. I have been using the wrong one. If you've been using the wrong pattern, it's possible the microphone has be...

Re: Having a problem with ACX RMS spec

Could the noise be coming up from the table? There's ways around that, too.

Re: Having a problem with ACX RMS spec

You did tell us what it was. It's an Aio. Screen Shot 2017-08-21 at 6.35.23 PM.png I have no feeling for how those work, so this is up to you. Listen to try and figure out where the noise is coming from. It may not be coming from your machine at all. I have a soft spot for furniture moving blankets....

Re: Having a problem with ACX RMS spec

They do tell you this in the instructions. You want Cardioid (heart-shaped). Click the picture.

Re: Having a problem with ACX RMS spec

Thank you again for giving me hope that I can do this! I don't think there's any question you have the performance chops for this. I can listen to a story in that voice. Lenovo Lenovo makes a bunch of computers. Describe exactly. Model number or name? Do Not block any ventilation holes or fan pathw...

Re: Having a problem with ACX RMS spec

We may not need another test if that one was clean. Can you hear the mosquito whine sound? Here it is following my voice. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/clips/USBMicrophoneWhineClip.mp3 Turn up the volume a bit when I stop talking. That's the same whine sound you have and from the same microphone. T...

Re: Having a problem with ACX RMS spec

That's your clip fully patched. After I passed it, I applied a little de-esser to take the edge from the "S" sounds. So that's what a finished presentation sounds like. If you're on headphones, note the whine and rumble sounds before you start talking in the original clip. There is no way ...

Re: Having a problem with ACX RMS spec

I'm not even sure what to ask. Close enough. See attached. Sentence 2/3 down. I had to work at it. You have a number of problems. You can tell your friends you have The Yeti Curse. After I suppressed that, you have very high background noises. I can't stop to do critical analysis right this second,...

Re: Mac restarted went to recover nothing there

Most of the graceful shutdown processes such as running out of battery, warn you and then preserve your work as it goes. Audacity tried to play the temporary work and there wasn't anything there.

That means something really naughty happened.

We should wait for one of the senior elves.

Re: Mac restarted went to recover nothing there

Restarting a Mac is pretty serious. Do you know why it dumped?

That was a multi-track edited production, right?

What's the little square with black arrow in the upper right? Is that your iCloud connection?
