Audacity Forum

Did you come to the right place or what. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo-650.jpg That's a Behringer UCA202. It connects the "Tape Out" of my mixer http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyTapeOut.jpg to any computer with a good USB connection. I have two. It w...

There is a newbie test where you set someone the task of Vocal Isolation based on Vocal Removal working really well. This is akin to sending the new kid at camp to find the keys to the oar locks. You can do the karaoke trick of reversing, say Right, and then adding Left and Right together to get the...

You said vocals appear on the central channel. Nice try. A good, undistorted stereo musical show, as a general rule, has two independent signals; Left and Right. If everything happens correctly, Left and Right stay left and right from the production all the way up to your ears. This gives you the a...

It could be asked why you're multi-micing a guitar anyway. I've always been able to find a sweet spot, press record and go. Or if you do insist on it, record each microphone separately.

You can always add special effects later. You can't take them out.

You should be careful about the difference between phase and delay. I did a test a while back (attached) where I did a definitive microphone phase test. I turned on the recording system and held up a sheet of typing paper between me and the microphone. I thumped it sharply with a pencil toward the m...

I used the area from 14.9 to 15.36 as the Noise Reduction Profile (Noise Reduction first pass). Then I applied reduction to the whole clip at 18, 6, 3. If I go much more than that, the voice is going to start turning to bad, bubbly cellphone voice. The clips have an unusual noise problem. If you car...

I think you can Emergency Rescue this file with Audacity Import Raw. Instead of depending on the file's own header to tell the world what happened (see: irrational, crazy) you tell it explicitly where everything is. Obviously, this is not recommended for general distribution. Oddly, this is a sister...

In spite of our best efforts, Audacity still doesn't run in real time. It's a popular feature request. I, myself with these fingers have run into his problem. I need Audacity to filter XXX in real time. Nope. Sorry. By the way one of the serious problems when you start digging into these tools is de...

Then they're not DAT. I don't know of a DAT format other than 48000 16 Stereo. It's completely non-versatile. The multi-track tape machines simply used multiple DATs. You have a mixed, odd format. Oddly, that may work out better. You should be able to configure Audacity to edit that format and produ...

Include more.

In mono (one blue wave), you can go as far as 20 seconds before the forum will stop you. Try to include a portion of the speech with a gap or pause.

If you can't decipher the speech enough to find the pauses, that's the end of the story. We're done.
