Re: sound is distorted in project file

See if Windows still has a "Snipping Too." It lets you draw a box around a tiny object on the creen and capture it as a picture file.

Your monitor settings are way too big to post graphics on the forum.

Re: Voice-over set up with dynamic mic

Is a dynamic mic going to fix my problems? A note about that. A "dynamic" microphone just means your voice vibrates a tiny coil of wire next to a powerful magnet. Full Stop. That's how they make their sound. They have some typical characteristics. In their fully analog form, they're almos...

Re: Voice-over set up with dynamic mic

Too much noise reduction. The voice quality would be fine but for the talking into a milk jug or wine glass honky sound. That may be OK for your application, but the audiobook testers will probably not like that. They like a more natural sound. Their goal is somebody sitting at the kitchen table wit...

Re: sound is distorted in project file

Which Audacity do you use? Can't quite read that. Screen Shot 2020-11-29 at 5.53.07 PM.png of course it is There is no "of course." You have symptoms of two different shows. There are a number of Audacity Project failures, but I've never heard of this one. Let me illustrate. An Audacity Pr...

Re: sound is distorted in project file

I will admit the symptoms are so impossible, I'm considering a bogus (fake) forum post.

If somebody paid me I couldn't do what you did. Time to wait for a senior forum elf (GMT).

Re: sound is distorted in project file

The bumps and noises on the bad track just screams recording from the wrong microphone. But you claim the show was complete and good before saving. Did you quick play down the show about once or twice an hour to see if everything was OK, or did you check once at the beginning or end and call it good...

Re: sound is distorted in project file

Is the damaged show the right duration? Is it the same four hours as the other recording (within reason). I got nothing. I can usually pull something out of my ear but I can't this time. The show worked while it was in the Audacity Cache Memory, but fell apart when it was written to the drive..........
