Re: ACX check is happy, can somebody listen?

Each time we correct a performer's work, we get better at it. This pass saw the debut of MultiNotch. Until now, that was the digital equivalent of writing a filter program on a napkin at a breakfast shop. I remember seeing it posted for someone else and I went down the listings until I found it. ACX...

Re: new user HELP!!!

Is that Lawrence Welk? It sucks not being able to pick up the phone and speak to someone who can walk you through things! It sucks not being a large corporation with an office of people to do real-time telephone help. Audacity is managed by five guys in a rusty Winnebago in Penzance, so on-line help...

Re: Shorter file, but greater in size than original!

MP3? If you're just cutting and shortening a show or production, you can use a "pure" MP3 editor which doesn't have a size change. They won't do much else, but simple cutting is good. http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/MP3#re-encode If you stick with Audacity, you have a problem. Audacity a...

Re: ACX check is happy, can somebody listen?

I did wonder what that mosquito noise was Fixing that wasn't "free." MultiNotch written by Steve brutally smashes certain musical tones that we determine were the worst offenders. They're just gone. We're hoping nobody looks too hard at the show and you don't try to send music through the...

Re: new user HELP!!!

Thanks for the assumption that I'm hearing voices which is not the case! Not you. Anybody else listening to a very ratty recording is going to start making up their own words. They can't help it. That's how your head works. Three different people are going to come away with three different versions...

Re: ACX check is happy, can somebody listen?

Did the posted, corrected sample sound reasonable? The new voice quality equalization I left should sound more natural. Did I lose you in the process? Higher end microphones do better. I recorded a sound test in my super quiet third bedroom with a good microphone and I got one test to pass just by m...
