Thank you. I'm not at a machine with good monitoring right this second. If you get half-way close, we can usually keep you from making some of the more obvious mistakes. It does worry me that your finished sample is using a lot of echo/reverb on his voice. The Audacity echo generator has never won a...

What does it sound like now? http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/TestClip/Record_A_Clip.html You'd be singing for the eight seconds instead of speaking. That's only if you want to post a sample to the forum. It will only allow short clips. If you have access to file hosting services, you can post muc...

Probably Skype and Pamela. Audacity doesn't do well recording Skype. http://www.pamela.biz/en/products/ The top two packages, Professional and Business will give you two separate sound tracks for the two directions. I don't think the bottom two will do that. There are other software products which w...

after noise reduction twice Does that work any better than one noise reduction with higher settings? If your show is damaged by Noise Reduction, then you may need to select a different profile. The profile step is supposed to have only noise and no performance in it. If you get some performance in ...

This recording has some very serious problems. -- The performer is a mush-mouth. After close listening I still can't tell you what he said in the front part of the sentence. -- The recording channel droops and is chopped off at 3KHz, so it's not as good as a bad telephone. I applied an equalizer to ...

Human hearing only goes to 20KHz. Sometimes scientists want Audacity to do things beyond audibility (both directions). Audacity is an audio production editor, not a scientific tool. It's not unusual for Audacity to create scientific errors with the goal of sounding good. Nothing you do higher than 2...

Yes that is Josh Turner and yes he does appear in public and have exactly the same name as the Country and Western singer. What could possibly go wrong?

Here's another one. Josh is not plagued with Ps, so he didn't need to elevate the microphone, but he's doing everything else right.

I bet you're waiting for us to tell you to "push this button." Maybe not. Unless you're recording through a sound mixer or another external sound management device, the confirmation sound coming back out of the computer for you to listen is late. Specifically, it's one computer late. The v...

From your description I thought this was going to be some kid in the garage. You may actually be in a garage, but you know what I mean. You're way further ahead than that. You are popping your Ps and P sounds. The "plosives." You're spitting in your microphone. We can help that a little in...
