Audacity Forum

The native player appears to be Quicktime, but quicktime as a standalone program won't open the exported files. Strange Everything appears as either iTunes or QuickTime if the Mac can't figure out what to do. iExplorer is not an Apple product: Copyright © 2015 by Macroplant LLC Macroplant LLC 114 E...

I think we're going to get you to produce that special test clip. We can't tell where the background noise is because the performer has breath and mouth noises (all normal) through the piece. There needs to be a second or so of total natural silence somewhere in the performance. http://www.kozco.com...

That seem hard to believe What he said. Yeti complaints tend to favor "I can't get it loud enough." If you're on Windows, you might check with the sound control panels and make sure you don't have a "20dB Boost" or other recording effects selected somewhere. I have other notes w...

I changed your title a little to make it a little less like you're trying to sell insurance on the forum. Good thing I read your post.

Audacity doesn't know what a voice is unlike you and me. All it sees is a collection of bits and blue waves. Can you turn the sound off and tell who is speaking just by looking at the blue waves? Under certain highly restricted circumstances you can partially split parts of a show, but you don't hav...

It's the only recording out of 35 that was like that. Say somebody made a mono recording of a voice. Press Stop. Now make another recording without checking if Audacity was empty. Audacity would have cheerfully made a second separate track underneath the first. Again, without checking, the operator...

Sound kills more shows than video. Sound without the picture is a radio production. Video without the sound is a rehearsal. And etc. Sound more than anything else separates movie/pro/broadcast from the newbies. I saw a YouTube video where somebody reconstructed a broadcast news set complete with bac...

Is the show stereo with one conversation on the left and one on the right? If the show is one single mono sound file with both conversations, then no. You're stuck. somehow two individual conversations were recorded over the top of one another in an Audacity file. I wonder about that. I would have t...

Please note that an Audio CD is a special thing. You can't get one of those by simply dragging music over to a blank CD. In that case the CD turns into a Data CD, not an Audio CD. You just made a flat, shiny hard drive. Some computers will play those, but very few cars.

If your MBP has an optical drive, you do it through iTunes. Make a Playlist in iTunes and park your songs there in the order you want to hear them. iTunes will convert whatever you provided into the right format. iTunes > File > Burn Playlist to Disk. Put a blank CD-R disk in the drive when it asks ...
