Re: Audio of other people is too quiet

Chat applications like to take over the sound services of the computer. That and Audacity does not Play Well With Others. It always assumes you want to make a simple recording. Chat applications are always two sounds. Your local microphone and everybody on-line. So that's another Audacity problem. I...

Re: No audio upon export

Is the music stereo? Do you have two blue waves?

Re: Input level rises after 8-9 seconds

And make sure we have good access. It's not unusual for someone to DropBox post for us and then lock it down by accident.

Re: Am I Doing This Right?

Being in the closet isn't such a bad deal. Mine has a Louis XIV credenza, two ormolu armoires and a bidet. I'm not sure there's room for a microphone.

Rummmm. Tish!

Re: Am I Doing This Right?

Obsessive Engineer says: Announce the correction more than once and pick the best one. Don't forget to make safety WAV copies of the RAW corrections. Let us know how it came out. Are the chapters sounding OK after you apply the mastering suite? Do they more or less match each other? There is that fi...

Re: Am I Doing This Right?

What's the best approach for that? Don't try to patch just the word. That never works. Well, shucks. If you think you can recapture the sentence with similar rhythm, meter, pitch, etc, then try that. Play the original work about a million times so you get accustomed to how you did it. Make absolute...

Re: Voice detector & changer

Most requests in the "make me sound like somebody else" group fail. Audacity doesn't have the tools to take a voice apart and put it back together again and still sound real. Other elves will be along.

There may be third party apps to do that.

Re: Audacity forum test clip

The limiter step is my third process. Why do you think I left it out?
Because it doesn't appear in your dialog.
...then used the RMS normalizer to -18dbs then normalized to -3.5 dbs and it passed just fine.

Re: Audacity forum test clip

the only change I made was RMS Normalize to -18 instead of -20.
And left out the Effect > Limiter step.

Anyway, you're rolling.
