Personally I think your recording sounds very good : It doesn't sound bathroomy or comby to me. I think it started out a good recording, too. I think it was damaged in post production. Something Happened to it. That's why I said there's the remotest possible possibility that a good recording still ...

Sped up recordings, odd as this sounds, are really recorded too slow. Something in the recording system can't keep up with the job. If it's not too bad, the system may just drop bits here and there and produce a Donald Duck recording. If the problems is too extreme, the system may throw up its littl...

The second sample I would think a normal, natural, very well done voice recording. The first one, damaged one, the speaking into a wineglass sound is typical of extreme noise reduction applied to the performance. I guess it's possible the MP3 compression was mishandled on that clip. MP3 compression ...

Oh, that's just the invitation to war stories, isn't it? I have a musical bass cabinet that radiates a low level hum both sound and electrical — even when it's off . It took months to find it. It's not shown in this illustration (for graphic simplicity), the sound mixer on the right plugs into the w...

Yeah, see? Contradictory symptoms. If Noise Reduction was a little too nuts when it worked, you would lose the blue waves and the ability to hear the show.

I don't know that you are doing anything wrong. I've never heard of it doing that. One of the things I do when I read of a problem is think what would I do to force that to happen. I don't know that I can force that to happen. If Noise Reduction really did suppress the show, then you wouldn't be abl...

Post a sample of normal dialog. It's a little rough to work in a vacuum.

You can try recording into the mic in on the laptop. Yes, try it. There are known machines where that either works out of the gate, or you can switch the working of the connection in Windows setups. Some machines know the "feeling" of different connections. Electrically, a computer microp...

I think you're stuck. You're in a teeensy subset of users, producers who make their own game sounds, and I don't think there are any forum elves who regularly do that. So that leaves you with somebody who does what you do who happens to drop in from userland and not only doesn't have their own probl...

Does it work if you File > Export to the default format, WAV (Microsoft). Is there anything odd about your works, like they're all 37 hours long or 52 tracks deep? You do have enough free drivespace to support the new files, right? Audacity has to make protection copies of the whole show repeatedly ...
