Re: Time Shift Surprise

How would you describe the "correct" / "desirable" behaviour? Playing my timeline matches the exported sound file I sent to the client. Remember all the people who shipped carefully time-shifted clips to a finishing house and were surprised when Audacity didn't export each leadi...

Re: Different amplitudes on speaker recordings

My goal is listening to various bluetooth-speakers That's the tactic or pathway to the goal. The goal is to present your collected works in a podcast or web publication, make a million dollars and move to a vacation home on the Amalfi Coast. How are you getting access to various bluetooth speakers?...

Re: Different amplitudes on speaker recordings

I have a standing joke that you should not judge production sound on speakers you can hold in one hand. What's the goal? Speakers are notorious for being slippery to evaluate because there are so many variables and they all have to work through your hearing which has an acclimatization process. I bo...

Re: Different amplitudes on speaker recordings

Put low level pink noise into both speakers and Analyze > Plot Spectrum. I know you don't have an echo-free chamber or a perfect microphone, but I bet the two plots will be wildly different, the Warfdale being the more level and even of the two. This is what a straight analysis of pink noise looks l...

Re: Different amplitudes on speaker recordings

The two speakers sound different, right? I bet if you used two different test tones instead of one, the two tones will not match. Try 440Hz and 4400Hz. I bet the cheap speaker won't do anything at 44Hz.

Re: Time Shift Surprise

that's how it's been for years.
So it's been broken for years.

If I import my exported show, it will not match my timeline. That would be an undesirable undocumented feature.

Re: What audio level to record at?

What should I set the volume to? It depends on where they got the stream from. If they got the stream after the broadcast compressors, you can move it up to -6dB or so because the volume won't drift. If they got it from the automation or other production supply -12dB may be about right. The Car Tal...

Re: Time Shift Surprise

Select the part of the track after zero, then trim, (Ctrl+T). Thanks. Why do I need trim? Wouldn't Export Selected now work as expected if I drag-select the "real" track? I couldn't help wondering why Magical Time was included in my exported show. We know Audacity traditionally has troubl...

Time Shift Surprise

Audacity 2.1.3. Screen Shot 2017-06-02 at 18.34.51.png The top two stereo tracks have been rendered to the third track. The goal is to produce a beat-matched overlap and shorten a musical segment. I did it by Time Shifting the second track to the left and a little skulduggery with fades. The track 2...
