Audacity Forum

I wasn't even sure I was using the correct terms....

We try to get to a goal before we let posters describe processes we can't do or don't exist.

Change setting externally in audacity.cfg with your favorite notepad editor. Make it hard to do by accident. It's pure blame assignment. Sign into the Audacity forum and your login will provide you a special plugin. I don't care how it's done, but not doing it at all is annoying. Sell it. Contribut...

You can't actually record with no volume controls. Your vocal sound range is much greater that the microphone's electrical range. If the recording system runs "just right," there's a very real possibility of you trying to be expressive and overloading the sound channel. Channel overload (a...

Totally, overdubbing. There are two versions of overdubbing, Simple and Perfect. With just your laptop and a pair of headphones, you can do simple overdubbing. Have Audacity play a backing or rhythm track to your headphones and you sing to it. Once you get to the end of the song, stop and do it agai...

It's pretty unusual for the system to be that dead. I think you should start fresh. There's something wrong somewhere. Disconnect the Steinberg UR824. Shut down Audacity. Do a clean shutdown of Windows. Shift+Shutdown, wait and then start. Not Restart and not regular Shutdown. Laptop? If you connect...

This is Vicki Pipe in an episode of "All The Stations." They were on an Ireland ferry and I think they shot it just for comedy effect. The sound was almost entirely trash.

Do you have the work before you did anything to it? We can't remove damage caused by effects and corrections mistakes. Did you shoot this on a windy day, or were you applying effects and caused the windy sound? If you don't have a protection copy of the raw sound, that may be the end of the show. Al...

There's no question I can make recommendations to improve the voice quality in the session. That is, make your voice clearer and more pleasant to the client and make their voice clearer and more pleasant to you. None of these recommendations is going to provide a two-voice recording. Let me know. Koz

create a project before you can do anything I'm sure we can find outliers to prove any point. Ask the users of that software what they think of that arrangement. Then stand back. I'll be happy if Audacity matched all the other software on my machines. I also want it to "Save" a WAV and MP...

There is another variation to this. In Photoshop, if I save anything, Photoshop assumes that was the desired product and just closes. If I don't save anything, then it gets upset. Entirely rational. In Audacity, exporting the desired product makes no difference at all. So yes, I'm on the side of the...
