Audacity Forum

Do you remember if you saved an Audacity Project, or exported a sound file? An Audacity project has two parts, the AUP manager and the _DATA folder with the actual sound in it. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg Does that look familiar? What did you call it? You can get i...

i was recording with the same machine. i have a focusrite soundcard. It is natural for a computer to record from the outside world via a microphone or cable connection. It's also natural for the machine to play on-line-content such as YouTube so you can hear it. What's not natural is to play on-lin...

There is another evil possibility. Depending on your machine, you may only have one connection that they try to make do everything. Having a 0-35 slider is suspiciously close to switching between microphone input and 40dB attenuation so you can connect a hot, powerful stereo line device without caus...

You should know participation of the forum isn't open ended. We don't do surveillance, sub-rosa recording, legal production or any other controversial editing and presentation. So if you need voice tracks to prove someone is doing something illegal, you'll be doing that yourself. Similarly, we may f...

Chances are good that now you're recording your built-in microphone. The techniques for self-recording are non-standard and can change if you change anything about your machine.

Chances are good if you passes ACX-Check, you should make it through the ACX Robot Testing. As long as you didn't do anything to cause voice damage, Human Quality Control should pass it.

To give you an idea how microphone preamps work. I have a little Benringer UM2 stand-alone USB mic preamplifier. It says right on the tin it uses the same boost technology (XENYX Preamps) as on their larger mixers. The newer unit UMC22 uses the newer MIDAS preamps. So it's not a throw-away second th...

Microphone Boost is there because horrified manufacturers discovered nobody's microphones would work right. Everybody Knows you have to design quiet and slightly lower volume systems because you can usually make that up in post production. Having sound too loud causes data damage and is immediately ...

See. Now we're getting into the weeds. Glass in the background is not automatically deadly. Figure out where the reflections are going to go. If it's decorative and broken up into multiple surfaces and odd angles, you're probably fine. If it's one sheet and the reflection is going back to the microp...

You should just pay attention. If your whole world is a series of "recording in the bathroom" echoes, then that may limit your ability to shoot like this. There's nothing like getting one shoot under your belt. Analyze forever over strong coffee/tea. You are going to have some odd theatric...
