Re: Samson Meteor - Weird Disturbance

That's the "Yeti Curse." The USB data transmission system getting into the sound. I put it that your computer and the microphone hate each other. Yes it is rough to get rid of. It has a lot of the characteristics of fingernails on blackboard. Even if your work passes ACX AudioBook specific...

Re: New Seeking Advice for Simultaneous Interpretation Setup

Let's try this. You have a stand-alone sound player with the foreign language on it. It plays into one side of the Audacity stereo recording and the translator's headphones. The translator voice goes in the other side. Audacity starts recording and stays constantly recording through the whole perfor...

Re: Can I reduce mp3 file size?

And do I pay a price with quality? Of course. Everything MP3 does sacrifices quality. The best you can ever do is minimize it. The worst thing you can do is make an MP3 from another MP3. The compression damages add up. You can get into trouble pretty easy. If you have a 128 quality MP3 and you cut ...

Re: removing vocals from an mp3 file

Windows Media? WMV? Anything you're likely to download has already been squashed and compressed (damaged), whether it's Flash, Windows Media, MP3 or Quicktime. Compression changes the song or performance so the file takes up less room. There's nothing to fix and there's nothing to go back to. The sh...

Re: output device settings

What kind of machine is it and do you have built-in speakers? Set that in the device toolbar. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/device_toolbar.html How did you record the radio broadcast? Some of the smaller Macs don't have dedicated stereo play and record and have to juggle to make everything wo...

Re: New Seeking Advice for Simultaneous Interpretation Setup

We can't do "B." The live delay thing has been requested several times and we still can't do that. When I had to make a delay, I ended up with a beginner package of a much larger, expensive sound program which would do live effects and sound processing. "Beginner" worked perfectl...

Re: removing vocals from an mp3 file

If it's a mono (not stereo) sound file or if the file is two tracks with the same thing on both tracks (technically, two-track mono), then yes, vocal removal will remove everything. There's a long list of ways that Vocal Removal will fail. It hates highly compressed MP3 and other file formats, so an...

Re: Noise Reduction

You should probably forget fancy noise reduction settings for a while and concentrate on volume. You went into overload several times in Sample-4. Attached. All those little red streaks are overload (too loud) points. View > Show Clipping. Those are places where the digital system is not following t...
