Audacity Forum

This seems to be a "push this button" kind of problems, but it's not. Audacity will only record from one thing at a time and your job is two things. Does the conference system offer a way to record it? Both Skype and Zoom will record a meeting for you and provide a sound file. If you're do...

OK, that's not good news. A dangerous link warning popped up when I tried to investigate the book.

How to Make an Audiobook by Rob Branson

Apparently it tried to use doubleclick.net to launch a tracker on my system.

-113.83 dB. That's crazy low. The best you can do outside of Audacity is -96dB. That's where "regular" sound files numbering schemes run out. You only get -113dB when you do something magic—and naughty—inside Audacity. Audacity uses 32-bit floating internally, not 16-bit for regular sound...

The most efficient way to "delete" something is not to go painfully around mopping up all the little pieces and segments. What usually happens is the machine deletes the ability to find the work. The show then "looks like" empty space and the next thing you record steps on the ol...

What are you trying to record? What is the goal?

Posters who say that are almost always trying to record YouTube or other on-line content. It's not that easy and there are special settings needed.

I do wonder about that. With a couple or tricks, I can get close-ish too. Using "snip.wav" as the work, there are two voices. The first two seconds doesn't respond the same way that the rest of it does. This is the signature of two transmitters, slightly off from each other. So we're liste...

I think I can make-out words if the spectrogram is inverted

I think that the part I'm missing. It's the wrong sideband. How did you do that?

Koz

I don't think there is a rule about which sideband to keep. AM produces identical upper and lower. Useful sound is the difference between either sideband and the center carrier. If the local AM station broadcasts a 5000Hz tone. it will produce "stuff" 5000 up from the carrier and 5000 down...

I would think it would be one of the first things in the manual would be how to set up Audacity.

It's also right at the top of the list of people looking for copyright violations.

Koz

Why does it sound like that? Normal radio (the one in your car) is wasteful. It sends two identical copies of a voice and all the tools and signals for you to enjoy the show. Single Sideband only sends one copy of the voice and nothing else. Since hams are limited in power, this effectively quadrupl...
