Good voice if I didn't mention that.

Everybody gets Noise Reduction wrong. The object is not to create Dead Blackness of Space silence between your words. Assuming a normal, gentle rain-in-the-trees hiss in the background, it's to make it so you can't hear it at normal listening volume. Set my response clip so your voice is normal list...

I expect that to sound exactly like you. It does pass ACX. Anything you do from here is going to involve voice quality changes such as DeEsser or equalizer. I did it an odd way. I applied a home-build plugin called LF-Rolloff. It's difficult to hear tones lower pitch than 100Hz (rumble, thunder), so...

This may not be a good match for you. Audacity doesn't apply effects or filters in real time. The best you can do is record yourself plain and then apply effects later. We can tell you how to do that. Describe your computer.

I appear to have missed the post.

cable like adapters or in line volume controls But not your headphones or headset assembly, right? They work fine? I have seen have three contacts. Not counting the shield. If you have a modern, single-socket laptop, you need to count the shield because it's important. They were doing so well, too....

I personally split a performance between editing and filtering/effects. Nobody's interested in listening to you fluffing a word or using the wrong word, but it's way too common for people to viciously beat a performance with a stick between excessive processing, bad filtering and too many effects. Y...

Hope this makes sense. It does, but the only other way to tell what you have is listen to it. Listen on good quality speakers or good headphones. This isn't particularly easy, either. Most computer speakers are trash, built-in speakers aren't nearly good enough and you can't use earbuds or other po...
