Re: Forced to Lose all Progrees at Program Freeze

You've been saving over one show name, right? Not over multiple different show names?

Re: Very Inexperienced & Working on Audio Book

I hope that's a typo. You claim you're compressing twice and there's no limiter in the list. I don't think I've ever recommended two passes through any processor. Normalize is a volume change, not a processor.

Re: Very Inexperienced & Working on Audio Book

This is where we bounce into technical versus theatrical. You can totally create a sound performance that passes ACX and doesn't sound all that good. I did it recently where I was testing a microphone and I happened to create a performance that passes ACX conformance, but nobody would mistake me for...

Re: Digitizing from Cassette

Watts Cassette to digital gadget. No hits. Does this thing have a web site? Does it use USB? Is that the "Digital" part of the name? Note we're flying blind without more information. Audacity checks for new devices when it starts, so plug everything in and make sure it's connected OK then...

Re: Mail Smart Box does not receive

Re: Why does stereo track sound funny if you invert one chan

If you do delay instead of phase cancellation, mono sound systems may react very badly. Instead of just canceling out, you will be the vector sums of all the sounds. It might be cool. You'll get comb filtering effects.

Re: Why does stereo track sound funny if you invert one chan

This is a 39 second Left-Right sound test I shot a while ago. In the fourth segment I flip the phase of one side over and that's all I did. I shot it with one microphone and the whole show is two track mono. http://www.kozco.com/tech/LRMonoPhase4.wav This test is used to find sound systems that don'...

Re: School of Podcast

I got it to play just fine. The beginning of that podcast addresses billing and money-making, promotion, etc. etc. They admit that you have to have the basics in place before you do any of these things. The basics are being able to get your microphones to work and be able to produce a clear, underst...

Re: Simulate near-singing amplifier sound

Thanks to digital technology and the greater stability of modern amplifiers you never hear this sound nowadays. No and you may not easily get there, either. There's an odd list of physical effects that are effectively beyond a simple audio program to perform. One of those is echo. What's the proble...
