Re: Help editing a raw mobile recording??

It's possible in Hollywood movies
I keep telling the writers, "You know if you put that in the script, somebody in real life is going to want us to do that."

"That's what the Producer wants."

"Right."

Re: Problem Connecting Microphone for Voice Recording

Recording appears to be happening with meters, If the Audacity sound meters are moving when you speak, then you are making a recording. Press record, speak for a while and Stop. Do you have blue waves on the timeline ? http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/AudacityRecording-650w.jpg To hear it, yo...

Re: Sample Analysis Please!

Sometimes microphone systems can do that. It doesn't necessarily mean you're experiencing an earthquake. Have you been through an earthquake? That's a classic event where everything including the air is moving, just not fast enough to hear. "for some reason, my wineglass just fell over." A...

Re: Sample Analysis Please!

You're a lot closer than most people get. There is a stunning amount of sub-sonic noise. Earthquake/thunderstorm stuff. It responds nicely to Steve's vocal filter. This is my local copy. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/Documents/LF_rolloff_for_speech.xml.zip Download and unzip it to LF_rolloff_fo...

Re: Connection via phones or line out?

Yes, it should be the blue connection. I can't make out the icons in the pix. One time somebody here managed to find separate soundcards that didn't follow the colors. The maker messed with some of the other conventions, too. The cards went out to multiple machines and I don't think we ever straight...

Re: Losing lossless

Windows can be aggressive about hiding information from you starting with obscuring filename extensions. MyMusic.wav > MyMusic. A lot of Windows users have no idea that the filename itself can give you a hint of what you have. Then there's Windows Media. For a while there, anything you opened in Win...

Re: Automatically generate timings for a bouncing ball karao

I don't know any way to make Audacity do pattern or content recognition. It's harder than you think. Digital systems don't do "close." Unless the match is exact, a comparison system will fail. That means no noise, no room sounds, no digital errors and no competing music. The editing people...

Re: Effects and Analyze will not Enable

I agree it might be OK if it was consistent. This is what mine looks like. No content loaded. Koz

Re: Batch process effects in .mp3 (speech) files

I ran into that recently. I've been happily using Chris for years. I change the first value, Compress ratio from the default 0.5 to 0.77 or 0.78 to simulate the broadcast compressors at the local radio station. Your mileage may vary, consult your local listings, void where prohibited. This is what C...

Re: Recording from my mixer...

no point my downloading Soundflower then?
You can if you want to record YouTube or other on-line content. You don't need it for straight, uncomplicated recording of an external sound device (mixer).
