Use LF_rolloff early in the filter process. If you have low-pitch tones or rumble (more common than you think), it can mess up the other tools. One of the filters or tools like compressor may be trying to process the barely audible rumble instead of your voice.

LF_rolloff is a plug-in for Effect > Equalizer. When you get it installed, you should use it with the Equalizer Length slider all the way up.

I am not using the Video input on it You may not be using it, but it's there in the bitstream anyway. Audacity does not recognize video devices. I use the Behringer UCA202 pure audio converter. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo-650.jpg Dig in the Dazzle and see if there is a...

Connect the recorder and mount it as a storage device or get a card reader and walk the recorder's storage card over to the computer (sneak...

but be wary of not to breathe heavily directly into the mic. Exactly correct. And to help you do that, we have the pop and blast filter.

I have no keyboard or mouse connected. That's the "doorknob moment." A guy makes it through an entire physical and has said goodbye to the doctor and pauses with his hand on the doorknob, turns and says: "I bleed out my noise every night. That's not important, is it?" Most of us...

I got nothin'. I will note that we are not rescuing the voices from a very low-bit-rate codec. The very low-bit-rate codec is the rescue . Without that, the transmission would be unintelligible trash. A friend was forced through circumstances to make a voice recording without listening to it. He wat...
