Another note. Audio (and video) demands constant real-time processing of a computer. There's no "wait a second while I process that spreadsheet." Any interruptions or delays at all will give you holes or stuttering in the production. So something moderately powerful is good. Audacity is on...

Since the price point is the primary requirement in Windows machines, not that many people worry about noise. So the makers don't, either. If you end up with a machine that cycles on and off, ACX recommends waiting it out rather than trying to get rid of the fan in post production. People trying to ...

Whatever you do don't use a quiet, powerful Mac like this one in the ACX demo video.

Or position the mic a little higher so that the capsule lines up with the tip of your nose rather than your mouth. Yes, totally. That's assuming you're on a mic stand which can do that. It doesn't work down. Lowering the microphone has a special set of conditions. Attached. That's the "Thank y...

The system does make a recording. It's possible to record Frying Mosquitoes. It will not record a voice performance. Do you have a stereo audio line-in separate from the mic port? If so perhaps at a pinch you could record from the Yeti headphones output? That would mean a complete blue/green/pink se...

And while we're on the 8/23 talk, it appears to be very low volume. I thought there was something wrong until I turned the speaker volume way up. It is recommended that you record your voice with the Audacity recording meters bouncing along at about -6 in the yellow zone (Audacity 2.1.0 and 2.1.1). ...

Which presentation? I picked the 8/23 talk which didn't appear to have music in it.

There is another possibility if you like to spit into the microphone. Turn your head or mount the microphone so you're talking to one side instead of directly on. Talk across it instead of directly into it. That will greatly reduce popping. This is frowned on in recording circles, but it's frowned o...

44100 is the Audio CD sampling rate. 48000 is the television/video sampling rate. Both sampling rates are very common and well supported. What's the goal? Some of my audio test signals were produced at 48000. If you care, 48000 has very slightly better audio high frequency characteristics. I would p...

Variation:
When you import the music track at the beginning, Immediately Duplicate it (Control-D) to get the outtro music.
Track 1 is the voice, Track 2 is the intro music and Track 3 is the outtro music.

Post back if you get lost.
