Re: Soft voice and microphone levels

a fly pass gas two blocks away Just to cover the basics, you are speaking into the Audio Technica logo, right? The 2020 is a side-fire microphone. You don't talk into the back (labeled "back") and you don't talk into the round top. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/JoshTurnerSings.jpg Yo...

Re: Can't open aup file

Open the .AUP file in a text editor (don't save anything or make any changes) and see what's in there. We're expecting the same programming and text as in the one that works. Both data files are there in the same file. You said some weird things. This is an Audacity Project. http://kozco.com/tech/au...

Re: changing voices

Have you watched or listened to the way they do it? Many pros change their presentation or other expression to get different characters rather than trying to sound like a different sex or completely different person. One recent presenter described how hard it was to keep track of a tome she was read...

Re: Recording with behringer 1202 usb

Which mixer? The Q or the QX? The setup process we published has you making a plain, ordinary, unexciting, non-overdub recording before you do anything else, and this is why. Go into Audacity and turn Overdub off. Turn everything under Recording off. Do you get the four green mixer sound lights flas...

Re: USB mic hiss/white noise

it's really not possible for audio hiss problems to be created elsewhere. Yes, they can be created elsewhere, just not introduced elsewhere. There is a thing I called The Yeti Curse, where a poorly regulated or noisy five volts in the USB cable leaks into the microphone analog preamplifier causing ...

Re: Self-producing an Audiobook

Can I predict the past? You wrote a delightful paper book and somebody said you should self-publish an audiobook because they heard it wasn't that hard. Nobody here is going to tell you that you can't self-publish, we have a pretty good track record for getting people published, but it is a skill se...

Re: How to record skype calls on audacity

Actually, this is the third complaint about Pamela. I forgot the one where someone posted a message from Pamela about their having troubles with Win10 and the latest Skype.

That's scary.

Re: How to record skype calls on audacity

Please note nobody ever complains about Skype. Skype got to be world famous by brutally and viciously taking over your computer sound services. No matter how messed up your computer is, Skype always seems to work. That's a problem when you try to use other software with Skype. Other packages always ...

Re: changing voices

I'm a bass and my voice will go through soundproof walls. It's listed as a non-lethal weapon by the state of California. But. I once played a convincing woman through acting and microphone spacing. You can't get a software package to do that. Lauren Bacall's voice was lower than Humphrey Bogart. Hir...
