Audacity Forum

This is one of the tools that has to understand content. You can't just take all the breath sounds out, so it's a lot harder than you think.

In addition, most people's breath is part of their presentation. Unless you're ill, breath is normal.

I'm behind on this. I can usually give you step by step instructions, but I can't this time. I'm reasonably sure the Personal Recorder is a free download, not native on the phone. I do know the hard part is not running the software or making the recording. It's getting a soundfile out of the iPhone ...

That last post had a lot of technical detail. The last part of the post describes "ACX Test," the special analysis tool. Highly recommended. Whoever said "get rid of all the low pitch tone rumble" was right. Most of the trash is 100Hz and below. The custom rumble filter gets rid ...

the wind blasts reduce the volume If this is from a camcorder, then yes, there is Auto Gain Control running trying to make all the sound arriving come out to an enjoyable show. The instant the wind increases enough to be dominant, the AGC "throws away" the actual voices and tried to make ...

You posted in a volunteer forum, not a help desk. It could take us collectively days to figure out what went wrong. You should think about what to do if this process doesn't work. Use your SmartPhone Personal Recorder in a quiet room. People use similar techniques to record AudioBooks. What's your m...

You could also overlay ocean and beach sounds almost like this was intentional—in addition to the subtitles. We still can't take a performance apart into individual performers, voices, instruments and other sounds. Once you jam everything together into one sound file, it's pretty much the end of the...

Paper books stay open to the page where you nodded off. Audiobooks, however.........

It's a sorta relief it's not the Mac causing problems. That's been the go-to machine for quiet, well-behaved recording. Unsure of how much it will help. Not at all. Leave the larger space. I assume you did not glue it together? I've been known to not use glue so the whole thing knocks down into a li...

Full Compass says they have it in stock.

I'm not entirely comfortable with one supplier who magically claims availability when all the majors are back-ordered.
Worth a shot, though. I've pulled out odd equipment purchases that way.
