Re: Demodulating Single-Side-Band

Yes, that totally sounds like the Amateur Radio Operator next door. Many countries require that the operator be informed of this leakage and given the chance to fix it. "Fix It" doesn't include selling all their radios and antennas. Many Hams are members of emergency communications network...

Re: Background Noise/Hissing with a USB Mic??

There's a trick to this, too. Don't go "diving for noise." Set the playback volume for comfortable listening at the loudest portion of the show, and then don't touch anything while you play the whole thing. It doesn't count if you play a very soft, delicate passage and then crank the volum...

Re: Can't find 'Telephone effect' on Graphics EQ

And if you're not critical as to the effect quality, you can fudge it with Effect > High Pass Filter: 300Hz, 24dB , and Effect > Low Pass Filter: 2700Hz, 24dB . Those are the actual telephone pitch restrictions in the US. You can add distortion to taste. Effect > Leveller: Noise Floor 70dB, Fine Adj...

Re: Recoding a cassette, Audacity boosts the silences, producing hiss

Audacity doesn't apply filters, effects, changes, or corrections when it records. Whatever Windows presents, that's what goes into the file.

Re: sound but no waveform after new microphone and interface

I guess I should turn off automatic updates I don't think you're allowed to opt out of all updates. https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/08/26/windows-10-how-to-stop-forced-updates/?sh=15fc0eb46f6a There is no greater Windows 10 controversy than its policy of forced updates. While great in...

Re: Need help solving this problem on Audacity not recording the desktop audio perfectly

I did make a similar forum post One reason a posting might slide off the forum is if nobody can figure out what's wrong or how to fix it. This isn't a help desk. It's a forum with users helping each other. If you have a unique problem, there may not be anybody that knows the solution. Recording mus...

Re: Background Noise/Hissing with a USB Mic??

That and to do noise tests we need a portion of the test to not have any performance in it. That can get messy because you can't just "plug in" silence from the effects lists, that doesn't reflect the actual performance environment. When the audiobook people have noise problems we ask them...

Re: how to reconstruct audio recording with only .au files

Might be a game ender, right? If everything else falls apart, it's still possible, since you have the transcription, to match the six second chunks to the whole script rather than just the relationship to nine other files. You can even get the computer to help a little. Type out a six second snippe...

Re: how to reconstruct audio recording with only .au files

Is Windows really helpless here? How about the "attrib" command in Windows 10 Terminal? I know Terminal and the DOS commands aren't native any more, they're an app, but still.
