Re: Amplify effect does not (audibly) amplify - what does it

DFX looks to be a possible explanation But again, what is DFX doing? What is its purpose? I can't think of a useful process that would produce this error. "Carefully capture the Audacity export and swap the original file in its place and not tell anybody." Doesn't sound reasonable. "...

Re: Amplify effect does not (audibly) amplify - what does it

I'm fascinated by not knowing what the goal is. If it is a service or tool trying to independently set volumes, what's its goal? It's not blindly trying to keep the overall volume constant. That would have destroyed the ramp test. I guess we don't know what happens if Amplify is applied so as to red...

Re: Low volume from ATR2100 USB microphone

The traditional way to do this is set a label at the fluff point so you can go back later.

Re: Stream is active ... Unable to gather information ...?

You could have crossed permissions, too. 177GB, but Audacity doesn't have permission to wrote to any of it.

Re: Stream is active ... Unable to gather information ...?

Audio track shows up to 6 seconds of signal then it goes flat. You mean the blue waves go flat? You can get that if Audacity runs out of room to store the sound. Are you running out of drive space? Win 7.1, Audacity v 2.06 Audacity 2.06 is a fake version. There is an Audacity 2.0.6. You can upgrade...

Re: Amplify effect does not (audibly) amplify - what does it

I were some kind of troll or evildoer, it would have been obvious long ago. Not if you were really good at it. I think it was Poirot who said, "If I committed a crime, mon ami, you would be unaware a crime had been committed." You have extraordinarily unlikely conditions. Sound and the bl...

Re: Amplify effect does not (audibly) amplify - what does it

It 'gave up' right where I would have expected, where the green arrow points: Did it stay one volume all the way down or did it slowly fade? I would never have asked if I had any idea why the Amplify effect does not, in my case, amplify. Well, there is one other possibility. People have posted with...

Re: Changing volume of vocal in recording

I see you can eliminate, or reduce vocals. Yes. People see that and naturally assume if you can reduce vocals.... You can't. It a trick of audio that under some conditions, the left and right of a stereo show can be made to cancel anything in the middle—usually the lead vocal, but sometimes drums a...

Re: Stream is active ... Unable to gather information ...?

If you're recording music and the song starts adjusting its own volume, that could be Windows Enhanced Services.
