Re: Recording Desktop Audio

And I can get to it from the manual front page. How cool is that?

I don't use FlowerPot or whatever the companion software is. I just use SoundFlower and switch directions manually. I don't use it that much.

Re: Recording Desktop Audio

I use SoundFlower to record what's playing on the Mac. It's a software device and instead of playing to speakers or headphones, I play my show to SoundFlower. Then I sell Audacity to record SoundFlower. https://rogueamoeba.com/freebies/soundflower/ in conjunction with OBS It's dangerous to combine A...

Re: Help with simple project, inserting voice clips

I need to be able to stop the agents' recording, insert a clip of myself talking, then resume the agents' call recording and so forth. Let me change the words a bit. Record the agent, play an existing clip of your voice, and then resume recording the agent. Is the playback always the same clip? I'm...

Re: Recording multiple things on Audacity

Audacity will not manage more than one device or sound channel.

Voicemeeter Banana claims to be able to manage multiple different sound channels at once.

Re: High noise floor, hiss, high beep sound

I suspect if the tones were louder, you'd be needing the rest of the notches.

Re: How do I reduce background sound and maintain voice?

Nothing says eight-year-old with a camera faster than shaky, swishy camera work. Use a tripod and a fluid head if you can afford it. Picture pan and tilt with honey in it. Sound kills more videos than anything else. I vividly remember a video where somebody went to the effort to recreate a news set,...

Re: High noise floor, hiss, high beep sound

I don't know what's causing the intermittent faint beep It's a USB microphone? Even thousand cycle tones suggest strongly USB negotiation data leaking into the sound. It's a version of Yeti Curse and it reacts positively to that "standard" set of notches. The custom suite is a subset of t...

Re: High noise floor, hiss, high beep sound

OK, stop, stop, stop. So we both applied multiple different filters, possibly conflicting with each other. Shoot a mono sound test and post it. Shoot it like you shoot everything else, just like normal, but export a WAV sound file before you do anything to it. I need a clean sound clip. http://www.k...

Re: How do I reduce background sound and maintain voice?

with background music for a workshop It is totally. That's why you shoot it clean and put the music in later. If you mess anything up while you're shooting mixed sound, you're stuck. There are a bunch of forum postings from people shooting one-pass mixed sound. "My doobly-doo turned out louder...

Re: High noise floor, hiss, high beep sound

It's also strongly recommended not to use MP3 anywhere in the production process. MP3 creates sound distortion and you can minimize it, but you can't make it go away. Export WAV (microsoft) 16-bit for your archive, production and capture files. The company may require you to submit MP3, but that sho...
