Re: Very Inexperienced & Working on Audio Book

Shure mic + Soundcraft mixer + Behringer interface Don't sell those. That combination should be electrically quieter and missing that whine sound. Much less hiss (fffff). That, in minor variation, is how I shot my compliant voice test to make sure I could do it in the face of telling other people h...

Re: Recording from line in stops

I've absolutely no idea what's the reason this happens. Neither do we. Next time it stops, press the R key (to start recording again, immediately). We expect that action to start a second timeline underneath the first. I don't advocate doing that as an actual musical production tool, this is just f...

Re: Maximize each wavecycle to maximum volume

Oh, and you will need a way to stop doing that at some selected level, or else the tool will try to process the microphone noise.

Re: Maximize each wavecycle to maximum volume

how to compress each wavecycle without distortion and clipping? I've never heard of doing that cycle by cycle. Maybe one of the elves could write something... It won't be without distortion, though. The zero crossings of the waves will no longer match. Any abrupt change in waveform integrity genera...

Re: removing background noise

What is your background noise? We recommend almost without question to get rid of it in your studio rather than trying to do it with a program. The audiobook producers recommend that, too.

Re: removing background noise

Audacity is a post-production program. It does almost nothing in real time. Sorry.

Re: A lot of my options are greyed out and I cannot click th

Many of the options go away if you are in Pause instead of Stop.

Selecting edit points is something of an art.

Left side under Editing Scroll down.

Re: Very Inexperienced & Working on Audio Book

We're all doing this between bouts of actually living life. That clip is right on the edge of being too noisy. The problem with noise removal is that it leaves the noise during the words. It only removes that whine and hiss between words and in broad blank times. I was able to get rid of most of the...

Re: Record at Work--Edit at home

Just to cover it. You are double clicking the AUP file to open the show, right?

Re: Cleaning up a cassette tape recording

You can select the entire recording at any time by clicking just above the MUTE button. You can Zoom to the F ull show with Control-F (That doesn't select the show. You just look at it.). Drag-select a portion of the blue waves and zoom into that s E lection with Control-E If you zoomed in a little ...
