Re: "Couldn't find the project data folder" easy fix not wor

I needed to restart my laptop for internet reasons. You need to resolve those "internal reasons." It is not normal for Audacity to trash show files left and right. Your machine is profoundly unstable. The show name is listed inside the AUP file. Open it in a text editor and look for the l...

Re: Cyclical variation in volume of recorded music

the problem does not lie in the turntable, pre-amp or in the Behringer UF0202. I believe you. Now let's go further. After you capture a song but before you export it, play it in Audacity and search for the variation. I'm betting it has a problem there. You may be able to see it in the sizes of the ...

Re: ACX check robotics and RMS

I write short stories. Sooner or later I'm going to set up and record one of those myself. See if I can make it pass without 52 filters and effects.

Re: ACX check robotics and RMS

I found one of the clips. I don't remember how I did this one, but I can see from the notes I didn't do much past announcing and setting general ACX sound levels. ACX recommendations are for higher volume than you can comfortably do in live recording, so it's almost always required that you adjust o...

Re: ACX check robotics and RMS

Dueling posts. the parameters that ACX demands for just plain flat out narration! This isn't a cellphone call or a Skype conference. You're replacing a studio and recording engineer. Sometimes it works out better than others. I like the Car Talk radio show. It's produced in the WBUR Boston studios. ...

Re: ACX check robotics and RMS

We are doing a stand-alone test clip because I can feel the problems bubbling up. It doesn't work when we start analyzing a processed performance. We can't take processing out of a clip and there's a terrific chance we're going to recommend tools and filters that will mess with some of the processin...

Re: Questions about maintaining audio quality when exporting

Stereo WAV quality (44100, 16-bit) is a bit over 1400. Forgive me. I had to go back to an earlier machine. The newer tools don't tell me that value.

Re: Questions about maintaining audio quality when exporting

You don't have a song. You have a song plus 105 damage. If you make a WAV, the WAV will have the song plus 105 damage in perfect quality and large filesize. If you then go back down again, you're going to be compressing the song plus compressing the 105 damage. You don't have the original song. The ...
