Re: 4 3.5mm Mics to mixer to PC?

Two actually. Computer Clip on Mini Lapel Microphone These microphones have to get their power from somewhere. They have internal electronics that must be powered. I have similar microphones, but mine have a fat place in the cable where I slip a "watch battery". From there on, the micropho...

Re: Very Inexperienced & Working on Audio Book

Hope you have gotten some rain. So far we got 4.6 drops. People further east got killed. Season of mud slides early. The first time the weather did this to us, all the floor fans in Los Angeles sold out. This time all the window air conditioners went. One day it hit 98F with 90% humidity. We're not...

Re: EXPORTING ISSUE! URGENT HELP!

Has this been working for the last three weeks and today, suddenly, it doesn't?

Re: EXPORTING ISSUE! URGENT HELP!

Not enough there to go on. Start with the info from the pink band above. Don't abbreviate the Audacity version number. How many blue waves do you have? Are you trying to export a multi-track mix-down? Are you trying to export WAV (Microsoft) or other format? Select the whole show by clicking just ab...

Re: Weird sound on playback

Please give us the Audacity version and Windows numbers from the pink band above. Installing Audacity doesn't reset audacity. When you install, Audacity should ask you if you want to reset preferences and settings. Say yes. Post a sample of the problem. You can use the AudioBook test format. It's pr...

Re: voice remover

Probably not. Select the whole song by clicking just above MUTE. Effect > Vocal Removal > Enter. If that didn't work or at least do something, then your song may not be a good candidate for vocal removal. Mono song tracks (one blue wave) do not work at all. Stereo Shows with the lead singer not in t...

Re: Female to Male - Changing one Octave

Audacity doesn't do vocal changes very well because the two voices are not just an octave apart. Vocal plosives, clicks, ticks, SS and FF sounds do not change between voices. Special software is required that "knows" what a voice is, how it works and what to change.

Re: Very Inexperienced & Working on Audio Book

As near as I can tell, the two higher volume passages are almost identical except in Before Change, she sounds like she would like nothing better than stop recording and go drink some exceptionally strong coffee. Changed10_17 has lower volume than the other two. It's significantly quieter. Are you n...

Re: Very Inexperienced & Working on Audio Book

Quick note before I pull the files down. ACX Check looks at the work roughly the same way the ACX Robot does which was the design center. Too many people failed the ACX Entrance Exam and were then faced with trying to interpret ACX's failure messages. Now you can fail in the comfort and convenience ...

Re: troubleshooting opening

How much were the songs? If they were 99c usd, they may have copy protection. If they were $1.29 usd, then you should be able to drag them out of iTunes onto the desktop and open them with any application.
