And do tell us what your microphone system is and connected to what.

The words don't make a lot of difference. Read the side of the breakfast cereal box. Include a bunch of "SS" words. "Sister Suzy simulates several salacious symptoms. Kellogs Corn Flakes provides growing bodies all the nutrients......" My other joke about this is to read the side...

I'm technically savvy That opens the possibilities. How might your Win7 differ from a plain Windows 7 a non-savvy user might have? Do you have network connected drives? Are you trying to run Audacity from one? Do you have live, network-connected storage? It's possible in some systems to have stiff ...

It sounds overprocessed from the first second. Honky with echoes. What are you using for a microphone and how are you recording the voice? Did you use Noise Reduction? both Noise Reduction and MP3 produce sound errors that make each other worse. Wine Glass Voice. Some effects can make it hard to use...

Not so obviously, we can also hear you scratching your head, shifting in your seat and shuffling papers. Boost the volume of your silent section temporarily and listen for human noises. The goal ...

Those are different. You changed the Windows filenames in an effort to create backups. He most likely changed the computer coding inside the AUP file to force it to look for your new changed filenames. That process is perfectly valid but brittle, so only those with golden fingers should attempt it. ...

what you mean by standalone test? A raw file that I narrate? Yes. As it says in the document, hold your breath for two seconds, announce for about 18. Stop, export as a mono WAV and post it on the forum. That's a grand first step to figuring out what's gone wrong. just breathing sends the green rec...
