Audacity Forum

If I remember correctly it is between a -18 and -23 RMS with a min of -3dbtp. That sounds like it should be simple, but until recently,we had no way to directly set RMS (loudness). Now we do. The top of this posting has the current recommendation for producing an ACX-compliant posting. http://forum...

We can make it sound better, not normal. Tape players change a number of settings to cancel mechanical and electrical tape errors. They go all wonky if you play the tape off-speed. Effect > Change Speed. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/change_speed.html Natural tape speeds tend to be multiples of...

The great thing about a Mac is that it integrates seamlessly with all other devices and services Seriously, can you picture Windows Media seamlessly integrating with anything else? I bet that phrase never once crossed anyone's lips. I don't think I said iTunes. There's always the bastard at the fam...

What free application can open a .CAF in Windows, convert it to WAV and "know" how to deal with the metadata? I think you can still get iTunes for Windows and that will let you transfer your presentation to the computer. Oddly, I can't get iTunes to play the work after it's transferred. I ...

Pay attention to the ACX reports (if that's your vendor). If you get rejected for something you can't hear, then that's a problem. "Can't you hear that rumble in the background?" Ummmm. No. There's a split between goals. "The Hollywood" headphone is the Sony MDR 7506. Virtually a...

Technology giveth and technology taketh away. You can record an audiobook chapter lying in bed, but it takes an act of congress/parliament to use the work after you do it.

Works for me!

I remember this. Audacity puts that noise blast at the end. It's not in the original recording. If I open the file in the current QuickTime Player, it will let me export as a compressed M4a file, but if I open it in the much older (but still available) QT7, that will allow me to export as a WAV. Nei...

http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/recovery.html http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/recovering_crashes_manually.html You can't recover an edited show. The AUP file is the detail list of how to build the show from all those fragments in the _DATA folder. Sometimes we can recover a fresh, mono recordi...

Here's a really short CoreAudio (CAF) file I created on the iPod. It has, as is made clear by the info panels, no processing and has been saved uncompressed. The extension caf is not allowed.

I see we never got the fine details. Time for that. Fill in and correct as needed. What's the microphone? How is it connected to the computer? USB Interface? Which one? Which computer? Which Windows? Do you use Skype or other chat application? Are you a gamer? On a guess, I'd say you bought your mic...
