Re: Need help interpreting mastering feedback from ACX

I think there is very probably one violation or condition that's causing problems and finding that one violation could suggest cures for everything, not just that one chapter. This is also strongly suggested to maintain chapter matching.

Re: Need help interpreting mastering feedback from ACX

I don't think that does what you think it does. My email link takes me to Open New Account, not to your show. In general, people post work and open it up to Everyone-Always. We get the work and then they close the posting. Also, it is suggested that the whole work is up there, not just chapter two. ...

Re: Export to AIFF (Amiga)

There is an Amiga export, but it's IFF, not AIFF.

Re: Export to AIFF (Amiga)

Audacity will not Save a sound file. To make a new sound file, you have to File > Export. If your file type is missing from the first menu > Select Other Uncompressed Files. You may need to upgrade to the current Audacity, 2.1.2 http://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/ If it's still missing, yo...

Re: absolute time of recording

That's not to say you can't do this cheaply. Run a video camera watching a clock and recording the sound event. That may take you straight back to buying a surveillance system rather than trying to wing it.

Re: absolute time of recording

Audacity doesn't make a very good surveillance recorder. -- As you discovered, there's no good way (outside of SMPTE Time Code) to record time of day. -- We can't do Rolling Recording (erase the old while you're recording new). -- There's no good way to custom Timed Recording. There's Sound Activate...

Re: Generate Old Phone Tones

ringback tone
You mean the tone you hear when the far side is ringing? No. Google is your friend.

We have Dual Tone Multi Frequency (touchtone) generator. There's an equalizer filter for the 3KHz low-pass telephone cutoff (telephone voice).

I think that's about it.

Re: error while opening sound device

audacity installed on my 16 gb sandisk usb While you can probably force that to work, it complicates things immediately if Something Goes Wrong. Audacity likes being installed with all the other Windows programs on the system drive. I had changed nothing before this problem occurred, and now I can ...
