It will not cure "sub harmonics." That's only good for problems above 60 (in the US). The stuff below that is very likely coming from your equipment, as you point out, the microphone isn't rated that low for actual sound. But now you know how to test for problems and in general, how to fix...

is there a way to get the batch normalized song files easily back intothe original individual song albums? I think I'm pretty safe there. No. It can't make production decisions. IF the song came from Lady GaGa, THEN put the new song in HERE . Also, I know it seems like a fantastic idea, but steppin...

That stuff below 20Hz is a little magic. I'm not entirely sure where it's coming from and it's deadly because it can throw off noise measurements with "noise" nobody can hear. I suspect it's coming from the digital/analog interface system. Filtering that stuff out of an analog sound device...

Yes, that's what I thought. They do a really good job of step-by-step. Watch the videos. The pieces they don't cover are generally custom applications that don't lend themselves to general rules or videos. They do many descriptions of putting padding on the walls and beach towels on the desk under t...

A note: Everybody is expecting you to make normal human noises during the presentation. Adjust your pants then. One common problem with people using Noise Removal is they have no pants. That two seconds is magic because it's used for the Noise Removal step if necessary. You body has to be exactly th...

See, not that hard. Attached. Run the three tests on that. How to: Select the whole (raw) clip by clicking just above the MUTE button. Effect > Normalize: [X] Remove DC, [X] Normalize to -3.2dB Effect > Equalize: LF rolloff for Speech plugin. Done. Even better, it still sounds like you. You should r...

You did one thing wrong right at the top. The Room Tone features you shifting in your seat and adjusting your pants. You need to absolutely freeze and stop breathing for that two seconds. This is an uphill battle because most people see any gap in their daily activities as the place to check their T...

And that is the magic place for Steve's voice filter. Everything below about 100Hz is gone. It only affects deep (usually) male voices, but the boost in specification quality is usually worth the effort. Note that sometimes it's good to run that after Noise Removal because the current version of Noi...

WAV files are "free." They're uncompressed and you can work in them in Audacity with no trouble. Not so the M4A or AAC files. Those are going to go through the re-encoding step and pick up extra sound damage. I believe you can't mix them in a Chain (batch process) because Chains can't make...

That was the easy version, but if you insist on making double tracks: "Fake Stereo." Use the drop-down menu on the left and Split Stereo Tracks. [X] Delete the blank one. Select the remaining one by clicking just above the MUTE button. Edit > Duplicate. Go to the drop-down menus again and ...
