Re: removing *really* bad hum

The fuzzy rule is mono at 32 and stereo at 64. Much lower than that and the show falls apart pretty quickly and a majority of people can tell there's something wrong. Even if you have a show at those values, you won't be able to compare it to the original. That kind of quality is usually much higher...

Re: Audio Setup Help

Googling this setup I found many have had problems w/ the H2's line input (apparrently it was built for mic l...

Re: Audio Setup Help

You may not be able to connect the H2N to the mixer. This is a page from the User Manual. Screen Shot 2016-08-31 at 13.06.15.png They use a weasel term "Mic Line Input." That usually means it doesn't have a high volume, stereo line input. The instructions are only for a microphone connecti...

Re: removing *really* bad hum

Backups and production can be Exported in WAV (Microsoft). It's the default Audacity "perfect" sound format and it's acceptable on all three major computer systems. Intermediate steps can be Saved (not Exported) as an Audacity Project. Projects can be handy because you can save all your sh...

Re: Audio Setup Help

No, no. That's terrific. Most people try to smash everything into one laptop. I need to read through that and come back.

It's a volunteer forum. Life intrudes.

Re: How to create more headroom in the file?

Yes, music commercially mastered can (usually) sound louder than what you can do at home, but sometimes it's your player. Some players shift gears between, say, MP3 and WAV. This can make matching volumes an uphill battle. I have personally been burned by Windows "helping me" when I wasn't...

Re: Improving audio quality with Samson Go

Re: How to create more headroom in the file?
