Audacity Forum

I asked way up at the beginning if there was a way for you to send us, or make available longer sound files. The forum doesn't support that and email attachments won't do it. That may be helpful and please include any comments ACX made in association with the work so we're not flying blind.

Using 2.x on Windows 7. You can be using Audacity 2 and still have a bogus or fake Audacity. The current version is 2.1.0. When you install a fresh Audacity it will ask you if you want to reset the preferences. Say yes. That should give you a "clean" install. http://audacityteam.org/downl...

The desperation Method is change the computer. You have what the programmers call "Moon Phase" problems. Sometimes, during a full moon when the temperature is above 72F...... Change the computer. Rent another one, get one from a friend. Most people don't have problems like this and I expec...

I know you're hoping to just snap to and wrap this up, but the current longest message thread on the forum, 39 chapters and over a year is Ian who just wanted to record his voice for an audiobook in an apartment in Hollywood. It worked, too. He's a paid presenter now. The previous champ was Bruno wh...

I didnt know I had used a noise gate Because of the correction damage you submitted, it sounded like you had used a Noise Gate. We can't see what you're doing. We can only go by what the clips sound like and historical knowledge of what the effects do. That's the kind of sound quality that ACX was ...

I hope you can help me fix the errors in audiobook and pass ACX check as it is 60 chapters long and I dont fancy doing it over it took me months to do There's no way to warn people not to do that and it happens all the time. Do you have the raw, unprocessed chapter readings? In other words do you h...

It should be select the drop-down menu to the left of the show timeline > Split Stereo To Mono. [X] Delete the bad track. The remaining track should play to left and right.. If that doesn't work, you may have sound system problems. Here's a 39 second sound test. http://www.kozco.com/tech/LRMonoPhase...

Sounds smoother after Paul-L's De-clicker ... Wouldn't surprise me. I'm not processing for theater awards, just to keep the ACX Robot asleep. Drag-select between .5 and 1.5 seconds. Effect > Noise Reduction Profile. It's stunningly important to get a "clean" profile. Room and microphone o...

Old Fossil I prefer "voice with character." I think I could listen to a story in that voice. Let me make a cuppa.. "Did I ever tell you about the time your aunt Minnie and I decided to liberate a pumpkin from Old Man O'Brians pumpkin patch one Hallowe'en? It was a dark and stormy nig...

It's a Nyquist file and I think I'm going to start sending it out as a Zip rather than the raw file. Some systems convert it to acx-check.ny.txt and then Windows hides the .txt part making you think you have something you don't. You shouldn't be using a noise gate at all. Those are very difficult to...
