Re: Ghostly background noise after using Noise Reduction

I know what that is. It took me a minute. When the sound engineer cranked the volume up so they could hear the question, the sensitivity went up enough to hear the jets throttling back on their way to the airport. That's exactly what it sounds like when an international jet joins the approach patte...

Re: Ghostly background noise after using Noise Reduction

Attached: plain noise reduction, volume boost.

We can't do anything about "recording from the back of the auditorium" sound and that audience microphone feedback, oooOOOOOooooo, is permanent. As before, it's moving/changing and that just kills a lot of the patching tools.

Re: Creating a 4-track (5.1) file able to be played on DVD.

We used to do a variation on that. If we would run out of space on the disk for the linear stereo track, we would not produce it at all and go right for compressed Dolby AC3 ... with two tracks. Dolby supports many different numbers of tracks and there was a little box graphic where you choose what ...

Re: Assign RAM as Temp file

You would have to make the memory "look like" a hard drive with its own name like e:\. And then you could tell Audacity to use that "drive" for production. However. If you had a computer with 16GB hard drive, the first words out of our mouths would be that's not enough for seriou...

Re: make this wav file loop seamlessly?

The clip is 43 seconds which is over the ten seconds recommended to post a WAV file on the forum. So a compressed MP3 file was produced instead to illustrate the process. It may not sound the same. We warn people never do production in MP3 because of sound damage.

Re: make this wav file loop seamlessly?

it ONLY loops the first part of the song NOT the ENTIRE SONG Let's look at the request. It was not to do a simple loop, it was to "Loop Seamlessly." That means not only do you have to jam the beginning and end into each other, you also have to match rhythm, phrasing, major/minor key trans...

Re: Lowering drums in a mixed mono track

our Zoom recorder died mid-show.
Yes. Much better. A YouTube singer I like started his career singing into a Zoom H2.

Re: Shure PG42 and Recording Tips, Advice, Etc.

If you need a place for the towel, spread it on the desk. Reflections from a hard desk can have a sound; a tight echo or comb effect (talking into a wine glass). Other than a struggle with the noises, I think everything else is working. I didn't have any trouble following you once the game got going...

Re: Paste a piece of audio without moving the other ones

I added silences
You don't have to do that. You can use the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows) to push audio around to where it needs to be.

Whose gate are you using? _ou have to be _areful with a _ate because it likes to _ut off the beginnings of _ords. The other thing it does is switches in and out of natural background noise.
