You don't have to hear anything to make a recording. Do you get blue waves and do the Audacity recording sound meters bounce? (I don't have an actual picture of the recording display. This is close.) http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/NormalPlayback-650.jpg Also: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o...

You have just experienced why reading in a quiet room is such a big deal. High Room Tone noise just kills you in post production.

That's going to work less well. You can't use actual Room Tone because it's too loud. You'll never pass ACX Noise if you do that. You are digging yourself into a corner rapidly. Tell me again why you need to do thousands of edits over the course of a chapter? You understand human breathing is an exp...

Chapter 1. The good news is neither ACX-Check nor I can find anything wrong with it. I like the transition to the woman's voice and back. Here's a trick. Drag-select a bunch of your dialog only, say a minute. Analyze > Contrast > Foreground > Measure Selection (Read the number) > Close I get about -...

position line stays in the center of the screen I think Cool Edit would do that. That puts huge stresses on the computer which is why Audacity flips pages/screens instead. For Recording, I set Audacity to continually update the screen even though it's flipping instead of scrolling. But during playb...

Oh, we can get a lot more obsessive than that. every sentence break needs a silent period pasted in. You're supposed to be editing/pasting with Room Tone, not silence. Silence will give you unexplained, robotic dead spaces between the words and it really screws up ACX-Check. Remember the goal of sha...

It's considered good practice to Export a WAV (Microsoft) of a valuable work in addition to Saving a Project. This doesn't work very well if you're into multi-channel, complicated, musical instrumental overdubbing, etc. etc., but if you're managing simple interviews (my usual shows) it's pretty good...

Based upon what I thought Koz was telling me yesterday I moved the .aup files and _data folder to the desktop. I did, yes. Those are really odd messages. Are they correct? 'couldn't find project data folder: Venita Vinson_data' Is that exactly what the folder is called? The name should exactly matc...

I think your voice is mixed into the music wrong. I think any single speaker or one channel sound system is going to have the same problem. Select A Copy of the whole song by clicking just above MUTE. Effect > Vocal Remover > OK. Did your voice get louder? If it did, your voice is mixed into the mus...
