Re: getting home audiobook recording up to snuff

I'll just edit out hitting record and then getting situated. Exactly correct. Technically, you're supposed to watch the Audacity sound meters while you perform, but the Snowball is always slightly low, so that should take care of itself as long as you don't decide to get expressive and theatrical. ...

Re: getting home audiobook recording up to snuff

I wasn't expecting to find different problems, but you have sibilance. Your "s" sounds are piercing. "Squeaking" is enough to drill holes. I wonder why I didn't pick up on this before. Maybe you didn't hit any s words in the dialog. You also have motor noises like maybe a fridge ...

I can't listen right this second. There is one soundproofing rule that says no shiny parallel surfaces. If working on the ceiling is hard, soundproof the floor.

Re: Finding the right equalization for my voice

I don't have the exact name for the speakers but hardware is Realtek HD Audio The one thing that's common in three forum chapters struggle is those speakers. How do they connect? Can you point to a web page that describes them? Do they plug into the wall for power? Do they get their juice from the ...

Re: getting home audiobook recording up to snuff

I tend to associate suffering with progress Because we all know you give your very best performances when you're in pain. Just to read that back to you. I don't know that mattress pads are a good idea. Mine are made out of cotton and thin quilt batting. If I throw one into the air it takes a second...

Re: Will a Blue Yeti mic work with 10m active usb extension?

One more note. You can't use the hub for anything else. That's not optional. You can't share a hub with sound services and anything else.

Re: Comparing two supposedly identical tracks.

If the invert and add failed, they they weren't bit identical. File > Import one and then File > import the other. That puts them one above the other. Effect > Invert one of them and add them. If they didn't cancel, they weren't bit identical for whatever reason. You never told us if you were planni...
