Audacity Forum

Senior Elf Steve designed a sound filter called LF Rolloff for Speech. It's a rumble filter. Rumble, thumps, thunder, earthquakes, trucks & busses going by, etc, etc, do not contribute to a voice recording and those sounds can screw up some of the Audacity effects, filters and tools. This filter...

and the dB is showing -55 or -45 - what do I do then?

You can wait until you have the basic tools installed and working. If you get too far ahead, you can be fighting problems that are easily solved using tools we haven't covered yet. Improper use of compression can make noise problems worse.

If I can see if the audio is at the exact specifications for ACX's requirements or not just through this link That link is to download the software that allows Audacity to analyze your show. It adds a tool to the Audacity Analyze menu. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Documents/acx-check.ny.zip You c...

Another note. This is the Audacity Forum, not a help desk. The elves are in and out as their time zone rolls around and we each have our areas of interest.

So you can create test clips and check them against the known standards before they ever leave your house. Is there anyone out there who can help me solve this, WITHOUT getting to techy on me? Sure. Hire a...

Old game console, not old radio console.

You could try multiple passes through Effect > Leveler to get the distortion up and then once through Effect > Vocoder.

This is dangerously close to executing and changing effects in real time. We can't do that, either.

I've tried isolating the different tracks So you're overdubbing, right? If you add a guitar part and you happen to hit the exact note from other tracks, the loudness of the show can go up and in extreme case, can clip and overload. Clipping sounds crunchy. Select all the tracks by shift-clicking ju...

Cellphone recording? Personal recorders don't capture the far side. Any voice you did record is cellphone echo leakage, and no, there's no good way to bring up the background voices or clean up the recording.
