Audacity Forum

We are on the edges of our seats.

No. Almost all requests to "Make my voice sound like something else" fail. Simple pitch change fails because not all vocal tones change between man and woman..... and other reasons.

You could print the text and have a text to speech reader do it.

I've never had to install a surveillance system, so I have no hands-on. I know from other posts one very serious shortcoming is the inability to time-stamp. You can time recorded events, but it's super painful. Ever try to calculate time on a calculator? We can't roll a recording, either. Delete fro...

When I push the Pause shortcut, the blue Pause button highlights to follow me even though it has not been pressed. Which specific actions fail?

I addressed (briefly) the Audacity software portion since that was the question. Upstream of that is the ...

That is the simplified version. I'm glossing over and simplifying to avoid getting into the deep weeds more than seems good.

So the right channel fades out and the left channel fades in, or vice versa, whatever. That's Split Stereo and two different, opposing fades. That's probably why the existing tools don't do what you want. You want to effectively go back to the original, live recording and remix it, re-panning each ...
