Re: Making the Voice Sound Better - are there macros?

At first quick pass I don't hear anything wrong with it, but we do need to be able to download it. What's the secret? Do you have to condition the posting to allow downloading? It's very common to point to the microphone and want a better one so everything will be OK. Probably not. Unless it's broke...

Re: Not recording

Don't go back and correct posts. That makes it really rough to follow you. What's the microphone? Part numbers, model numbers or web page. You can put Audacity 2.1.2 into monitor mode by right-clicking inside the recording meters (microphone symbol) > Start Monitoring. The meters will jump any time ...

Re: Missing Audio Data Block Files

Do you still have access to the original Project? This is a Project: http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg No effort should be made to manage or otherwise change anything inside the _DATA folder and you should not put the AUP file inside the _DATA folder. It's already concer...

Re: Using Audacity with Dazzle Pinnacle

In Pinnacle saves your work in a wacky format, you may need to install the FFMpeg software package to open it. FFMpeg's job is to expand Audacity's list of accepted formats.

Re: Audacity stops recording at specific point

Look at the bottom of the Audacity window and make sure Snap To has not been tuned on.

Also Transport > Timer Record has not been set.

Re: How do I get rid of distortion at high volume?

reduce the difference in level between the quiet parts and the highest peaks so that the overall (average) level can be raised. That's what the Producer and the Engineer are doing in the studio after the performer goes home. Even out the volume of the songs in the album and make all the tracks loud...

Re: I passed ACX's QC...but the end result sounds horrible.

That illustration is from the ACX Training Videos. It's remarkably similar to how I do it and if my studio was less messy, I'd post a picture of my own. Koz

Re: I passed ACX's QC...but the end result sounds horrible.

The voice is angelic, but it sounds like you're presenting in the same room with fourteen window fans all running at once. Turn up the volume in the first 1-1/2 seconds of that clip. Is that your computer ventilation system? It's loud enough that I can't easily correct for it. I can get the blue wav...

Re: Boring bump to start recording

It's not that your soundcard is defective... You're just using it wrong. If you plug a Mic —a microphone—into your Mic-In connection, it will work just fine. That connection is designed for communications such as conferencing, chat or Skype. Applications that use a microphone, not any other kind of...

Re: Is There a Plugin...

Not that I know of, but why would you want one? There must be billions of samples on the internet. Copy and paste your brains out. That's a more modern US electronic phone (as opposed to the older, pure electrical ones). I have one that sounds like that. Double the tone for a "European" ri...
