Re: Ripping my hair out in frustration

As long as you have a real, good quality XLR cable... http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/XLR-Cable-500.jpg ...and no adapters, you can push that puppy out to 50 feet, 60 feet or longer. This cable type was designed to do this. Yes, that will totally get you away from the fan noise. How are you going...

Re: Ongoing issue with audio tracks while editing, see pic

I can't tell from the time stamps, but did you intentionally post a message out of order? The forum occasionally has race conditions where two people post at or near the same time and the messages seem odd because they're out of step. We can deal. I wanted to be clear that's the kind of detail we ne...

Re: Ongoing issue with audio tracks while editing, see pic

My co hosts upload convert and then upload them to Google drive and then I download and import. I can't quite get that....... Describe the entertainment. You speak with two people over Skype. They each record their own portion of the show (rather than use ratty Skype sound) and move the high qualit...

Re: muffled sounding vocal recording track when paired w mus

That works. I have recorded temporary voice tracks for a television commercial with a built-in microphone. As long as you're not expecting Warner Brothers Studio quality, its usually good to go. Overdubbing is where you have one track as a background or rhythm. Switch the system to overdub and when ...

Re: Cassette input monitoring problem

Windows machines assume you are an account representative trying to Skype to the home office in Switzerland. If you're not one of those people, Then the going can be a little rough. Even Macs gave up their Stereo Recording connection in favor of one for a communications headset. What is the accurate...

Re: muffled sounding vocal recording track when paired w mus

I got a pretty good idea. How do you have your microphone connected? Lots of detail: " I plugged my Frammis model 4 microphone into a Signal-Spritzer Preamp... " Are you overdubbing? Singing to the music playing in Audacity and then recording your voice. Be accurate. Those jobs or descript...

Re: Ongoing issue with audio tracks while editing, see pic

You had an info split there. Was the laptop that used to be broken the same one that had Win7? Do you use multiple audio applications and are they running at the same time you're trying to edit (I'm thinking Skype or Chat)? Which numbered version of Audacity is it? Was there ever a condition where e...

Re: Ongoing issue with audio tracks while editing, see pic

Did you intend to post a picture or sound file? http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=64936 Does the damage stay damage if you select the broken track > Export Selected Audio and then open it in a fresh Audacity? How many sound tracks do you typically have and how long is the show? ...

Re: How could I blend my vocals within the music?

how to blend my vocals perfectly within the music control the volume of each section I don't know that there is an "each section." The way I read the question has the poster with a mixed single sound file wondering how to fix it. You probably don't. Audacity can not take apart a mixed per...
