Audacity Forum

Actually, an AUP is the Project Manager text file for an Audacity Project, not a sound file. A project is a matched set of AUP and _DATA folder. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg If you want to post a sound sample, Export a sample in WAV (Microsoft). http://forum.audacit...

You used a naughty word there. Whenever we see "help me clean up" in a posting, it usually means the poster has created a bleeding, basket case of a recording and is depending on us to turn it into a professional presentation in time to post it to the client at the end of the day. I wish I...

I just finished recording a novella of mine. With the goal of posting it on ACX AudioBook, or other company? Which computer and Audacity are you using? The blue waves on the timeline will give you a measurement of peaks or instantaneous vibrations of the air. That's a good measurement of what the a...

It's particularly entertaining if you take the problem upside down, my favorite diagnostic trick. If someone paid you to produce this effect, how would you do it? Rearranging segments of a voice recording in real time without apparently losing any content is very difficult to do. Yet somehow, the ma...

In particular, the upper left one, Trim should not be all t...

I got ratty results with multiple notches and Noise Reduction (attached).

Someone wrote a hum filter that might be able to help...a little. That's a microphone with a broken shield.

I need to look.

In My Opinion you should stick with what you have and see how well we can do with post production filtering. Like I said, you have a perfectly good presentation and I don't hear anything wrong behind you. Many people would kill to be able to say that. A note on that forum test clip. It's a Really Bi...

It's not coming from the microphone. Dynamic (moving coil) microphones make almost no noise. The sticky part of the system is the microphone preamplifier. The first thing the microphone hits when it arrives in the mixer. Turn the mixer slider for that microphone all the way down and most of the ffff...
