Audacity Forum

More real life.

The first Noise Reduction panel (attach) was posted by macmex and he commented that it didn't look like mine — second attach. He was trying to duplicate my settings so to get the same results.

I believe we're both in 2.1.0

I'm re-writing my testing paper so it's more universal than it is now. I nailed the test to a particular sound file and if you don't happen to have that file, the process will be useless to you. Also, that's not the only way to do testing. There is test software I can download and use as well, but I...

I'm just now recognizing it. Did you leave off the last Normalize in KOZ-KOZ? When you went Normalize > Compress > Normalize, except you stopped after the compression step. That would fail everything but noise.

I brought all my files open in Audacity pasted them together in one file then tried to Normalize etc. That's the question, isn't it? Normalize (and Amplify) have no idea what content is. They blindly work on blue wave tips or peaks. The problem with processing The Whole Book is one accident, bad em...

Are you submitting numbered chapters? I think I saw ACX wants it that way. Using what appears to be your normal studio technique, it should be possible to Normalize > Compression > Normalize to produce conforming chapters from the performance and then do the other production things like make the pau...

KOZ Normalize 3.2, 23.7, 65.7 (will not pass) Normalize > Compression > Normalize 3.2, 21.6, 68.9 (passes) KOZ-KOZ Normalize 3.2, 22.7, 65.1 (passes, just) The second clip didn't need the compression to pass. I just boosted the volume and it fell in. Not perfectly. 22.7 loudness is right on the edge...

I don't have it as a raw capture. So that's the first thing you have to fix. Make up a raw capture sound clip for posting on the forum. I don't have the pictures, or the links or the web page yet, so none of that is going to work. Later. Koz Make a ten second mono sound test file. 2015-04-07 Set up...

There is no provision to download the clip, but I captured it as a live feed. So you can pull it. [time passes] I'm getting very different readings from you, so something happened in the transfer. Split the clip in to a single mono track (menus on the left > Split Stereo To Mono) delete one of them,...

I can use the Shure and the sound board, if you would like.

I would like. The analog mixer is missing some of the noise and sound problems of the USB microphone. So even if the sound levels are off, it's easier to produce a clean, clear sound file in post production.

Can you post that same clip as a raw capture? Before you processed or did anything to it?
Thanks,
Koz
