Re: Donation page not found

The web site is being changed around a bit and that link is taken down. Don't post money anywhere else.

Re: I'm not sure how to fix this hum issue. Despite the large amount of noise reduction I apply, there's still a lot of

Is this after noise reduction? Any other processing? Can you post a raw reading? There's just nothing like having two collections of effects and filters fighting each other. If it hums we need to hear the hum. Noise Reduction is not always a cure-all. I don't hear any sibilance and the spectrum has ...

Re: AU file deleted or missing files from Audacity Crash

You can open up your AUP project manager file in any text editor (don't save anything). It should look a little like this. This one has been prettied up a little for the picture. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/aupFileGraphic-redbox.jpg Note the red box is the name of the project. It's burne...

Re: Setting up for video podcast

what is the best way to hook it up with 4 mics, and 4 headphones, and camera? thanks. Can you describe the show a little? There was a recent post where someone did manage to record four independent microphones but they were horrified that each microphone didn't give total isolation for the performe...

Re: AUDACITY 2.4.2 WINDOWS/ DRUM TRACK

And how much does it seem to vary? See now, you didn't say it varied. You said it was different once. Does it change all the time? Play the same piece to the drum track several times (keep selecting the drum-only as the backing track). Do you get a lot of different guitar tracks? Or do you get seve...

Re: Recording an interview through an online call (WhatsApp) using Audacity

The Official Party Line is do the interviews on Zoom and get Zoom to record them. I understand the last version of Zoom services would allow you to assign voices to files instead of jamming them all into one mix. There is a way to record WhatsApp calls on your Android phone.

Re: Shure MVi

Audacity may be too far along. Do the Windows Sound Control Panels think everything is OK? You should be able to select your interface in the Recording panel and see the Windows sound meter jump if everything is OK.

Audacity gets its sound from Windows, not the interface.

Re: Shure MVi

Usually, pressing record freezes the cursor until I hit stop. Actually, that can be a clue. Audacity can do that when it has a good stable connection, but no data. what gets recorded does NOT sound like my voice. And that's a data problem. What Audacity thinks is there and what's actually there are...

Re: AU file deleted or missing files from Audacity Crash

Desperation methods call for saving a production as a different name if you think there may be a problem. That way if Audacity falls into the mud it won't take the current show and the backup show both. Audacity isn't in the habit of repeated crashing, so yours is broken. Do you know why it was cras...

Re: Fixing an ACX Issue

I just sent ACX this same question. There is nearly zero chance ACX will reply. They're not in the business of troubleshooting your studio. wouldn't they have detected an issue in Ch 1 BEFORE they noticed something in Chapters 3 and 7 ? I can't prove this, but I suspect they have "Reputation R...
