Audacity Forum

I note there was a recent posting from someone who expected Export to follow his selection. What else would you want? Just because you got used to using an odd tool doesn't mean it's desirable or universally expected. Koz

The sound coming from a phono cartridge isn't regular audio like plugging in a cassette machine. It has intentional RIAA distortion needed to make music fit in the grooves. If you don't take the distortion out, the shows will sound very tinny and gutless. That's what the Phono-In of entertainment sy...

If you do Room Tone again, hold your breath and freeze. No movement at all. I don't know what the ACX spec is, but we don't need more than two or three seconds. The presence of your body affects the microphone, so yes, you do have to be there. Just because I haven't thrown mud in a long time: That w...

There is a very low level hum in the background

Right. I see it. 60Hz at -73 by my count with a 120Hz down at -80 or so.

I'm going to have to sit down for a minute. That was a terrific recording. You should have no trouble producing any deliverable you wish with any of the common sound specifications. As I said, just sheering off the slightly loud "Hello" and I could make ACX Audiobook compliance with very l...

Probably not worth the effort. Your show violates #4. The Four Horsemen of Audio Recording (reliable, time-tested ways to kill your show) -- 1. Echoes and room reverberation (Don't record the show in your mum's kitchen.) -- 2. Overload and Clipping (Sound that's recorded too loud is permanently tras...

What are you recording?

Jury's out on the USB noise thing. It seems that if you have enough processing in your USB device, the noise isn't a problem. There is a recent posting of someone using a Shure X2U and easily passes noise, but I don't know how much processing they did because they didn't post the raw capture. ACX ap...

Probably not without making the voices sound funny. You hit one of the scenarios we can't help very well. Is the clip posted anywhere we can download and try it?
