Re: Startup Problem Audacity 2.1.1 Windows 10

newly upgraded Windows 10
Did it work on the old Win7 or whatever the old one was?

Re: Lowering drums in a mixed mono track

Since nobody is racing to your rescue, I'm going with no. You may have had a very, very slim chance if the recording was in Stereo, but Mono takes all the options off the table. there's no way to remove them [drums] completely But you have to be able to do something like that to apply changes to the...

Re: Podcast Audio Quality Feedback

Do you smoke? That could account for the slight voice roughness. It's not unpleasant and you're probably good to go as is. It's good enough now I'm having to dig to find anything wrong. This clip is after processing, right? The noise level is suspiciously low. Audacity has two different sound meters...

Re: Newbie needs help with fixing saturated audio

I made a more convenient illustration of the Envelope tool showing the control points and blue lines (attached).

Re: Is there a reverb for outdoors?

You'd still get echo or long delay low repeat reverb outside. Maybe in the city. If you're standing in a field with no buildings around, there's nothing. There was a podcast where they stepped into a vineyard and all the echoes vanished when they picked up the outside sound—including the interview....

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

Don't add them? Push the additional music sooner and later on the second track so everything lines up when you play them together. A simple File > Export will smooch everything together into one show file. You can also Tracks > Mix and Render to a new Track and Audacity will give you a composite tra...

Re: Podcast Audio Quality Feedback

Your clip. I sheared off "All right." It's too loud and it overloads. But I reduced what's left slightly with the Normalize effect and it passes. Attached, last sentence. You can do this analysis yourself. This is a freely available tool. It's too good. Attached 2. See those comb-like hole...

Re: Podcast Audio Quality Feedback

This is where I tell you about my buzz adventure. I had exactly the same problem. The microphone worked while I was standing on my left foot, bent forward at the waist, while facing North-Northwest. On Thursday. Everywhere not home worked fine, too. I put a long cable on the microphone, and walked a...

Re: Podcast Audio Quality Feedback

And yes, we do know that complex troubleshooting across time zones is a lot like steering a large truck by pulling rubber bands on the steering wheel. Haven't listened yet. Hiss is normal in any analog system and is a problem when the show isn't loud enough. All microphone amplifiers hiss and the go...

Re: Is there a reverb for outdoors?

This will always sound like it was recorded in the kitchen because it probably was. The original sound productions in this show were studio recorded and sound perfect. This was an afterthought and I assume they thought they could just record it at home and save a lot of money. http://kozco.com/tech/...
