I think I got it nailed. Steve (senior elf) wrote a tool that fills in some of the absences in the current Audacity processing suite. It's literally computer code. No graphics, no help and no guidance. I'm preparing enough info so you can use it. Starting from the download we have in common (DB Chap...

Audacity doesn't have Edit Markers like you may have gotten used to if you used other editing programs. It doesn't have Mark-In and Mark-Out. I think the best we can do is the labels. You can label the two ends of the edit and reselect it very easily. You can also label a region. http://manual.audac...

Walk into the show just before the performance and clap loudly once. Theory has it we should be able to subtract the room from the show. I suspect the awkwardness of doing that is the only thing preventing success.

Yes. But I said the room is not likely to generate foreign tones by itself absent something that rings such as striking a bell. The bell will always generate its favorite tones no matter who or what strikes it, but given the absence of bells in the average auditorium, that effect is not likely. The ...

As a fuzzy rule, you can get your symptoms by having the computer try to apply echo and noise reduction in real time (like a cellphone), or having multiple uncontrolled sound pathways fighting each other (feedback or bad mixing). Cellphone processing hates music. It's fascinating that running your l...

In the past, I've always heard the backing track in the headphones. OK. Baby steps. Now go back in and turn [X] Overdubbing on > OK. Make a test recording. I expect a clean performance and you to be able to hear the backing track. Do Not turn anything else on. Does your live performance recording s...

Remember, Audacity only works in post production. It won't change anything in real time.

Which brings us back around to: "Audacity doesn't do anything in real time."

Koz

What are you recording and how? A mono microphone will sometimes do that, but almost always to the left not the right.

You apply Normalize to -3.5 and remove DC and the blue waves get very slightly smaller . Our compressors are the same. When I apply compression, the blue waves get very much smaller and the sticking up parts around 10 seconds almost vanish. (attached). Screen Shot 2016-12-05 at 21.56.15.png Then I a...
