Does your machine Chong when you turn it on and does it go Poit Poit Poit when you raise and lower the volume with the keyboard keys? Koz

The reason I asked for a chapter is to see how our tools work over the long haul. Anybody can design a tool, for example, that takes a second or two to do its job over a short performance, but takes an hour on a full show. That's a nasty surprise if you're on deadline. Also, we had one performer who...

It's sync great in Windows Movie Maker, however 7 minutes in my audio becomes de-sync.

So the sound and picture sync until 7 minutes in Movie Maker?

What goes off sync? picture/sound? Voice/Gameplay? Everything?

I think each instrument and voice should be on a dedicated track before rendering a final mix

shouldn't that be able to be known by the numbers in the ACX analysis No. It only tells us the train is late. It doesn't tell us why or the proper method of fixing it.

If you're on a Windows laptop, chances are good you have no stereo connection at all. No amount of Noise Reduction will make up for that. Nobody ever bought a computer with the built-in sound card being a high priority. If you're doing audio work of almost any description, the first order of busines...

It's important that you try to save it to the Desktop , and not where Audacity wants to save it. The Audacity default location doesn't always work very well. Also describing exactly what's happening is good. We can't see what your screen is doing. What's the show and how long is it? Where is the sys...

Try saving the project with a very simple name (no dates) and do it to the desktop instead of the Audacity default. Did that work?

If the work is under 25MB, it can be sent over plain email.

the results I posted below were for two entire chapters Yes. I guessed that. We're beyond ten second test clips. Could you please explain what you mean by 'patched file' in this context I generally mean a sound file that has had corrections done in order to achieve ACX compliance. That's different ...
