Re: Blue Yeti/G35 Background Static (frying mosquitos)

I'm catching up. There is defiantly background noise when the mic is muted. If you're hearing hiss or noises with the microphone muted, then the playback system needs work. According to flynwill, the sound file goes to the Blackness Of Space silence when you mute the microphone—as silent as the digi...

Re: Microphone problems

AUP isn't a sound file. You should post a sound file according to this:

Re: How to remove background noise from an mp3 audio file

I can not remember now how to analyze a file in audacity.
I think what we mean by that and what you mean are going to be very different. What do you need to do? Use different words.

Does this help?

Re: Recording Separate Sounds on Left/Right Channel

Every time you press Record in Audacity, it will start a whole new track underneath the older ones, and they will all play at the same time unless you set it not to. You can easily create multiple different sound tracks like that. However. You can't easily hear the old tracks while you play the new ...

Re: Passing the ACX test, BUT does it sound any good?

What's the microphone again? It's most unusual for a microphone to deliver voice with that much damage. I think there's something wrong/broken/misadjusted. Also, if you speak like that in real life, I would expect people to run away while holding their ears.

Re: Blue Yeti/G35 Background Static (frying mosquitos)

If you produce a test clip, please do it according to this formula: http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/TestClip/Record_A_Clip.html Recording processed audio doesn't tell us anything useful and a clip with no natural audio or voice has no reference point. Having a good low noise point doesn't help yo...

Re: Blue Yeti/G35 Background Static (frying mosquitos)

That -6dB thing is a goal we settled on a while back. If your voice routinely peaks around -6 with occasional peaks over that and many under, that's about as perfect as you're likely to get. Much over that and you could hit The Red Zone on the Audacity meters which is a danger sign. So a lot of red ...

I also want to stream and do the same That one step will put you in studio territory. You can squirm your way around a noisy microphone or background noises with post production processing/filtering/effects (the kind ACX would rather you didn't use), but the instant you stream, your voice has to be...

Re: Passing the ACX test, BUT does it sound any good?

With your bathroom and hard tiles I was expecting, well, a bathroom sound. But that's not what happened. You have an insane crispness to your voice which will never work as it is. "Splendid" at 4.3 seconds is enough to drill holes in wood. I can hear the other elves leaping to using "...
