Re: Configuring Audacity for Microsoft Windows

Audacity comes in three numbers. The current version is 2.0.6. If you really have Audacity 2.0.0, that is a really old version and you should be installing the correct version from here:

Let us know.

Re: Wanted: mastering chain for meeting ACX Guidelines

All of those settings are very gentle and a primary reason the voice at the end sounds startlingly like the one at the beginning. Note you can still hear very slight noise in the background if you're looking for it. But it does meet noise specification and it didn't damage your voice. And then I too...

Re: Wanted: mastering chain for meeting ACX Guidelines

Long Cookie Segment Patch from Original RAW Capture. Noise Reduction 1 Drag-select 21.2 seconds to 24 seconds. Effect > Noise Removal > Profile. It's super important that you don't catch any of your voice or breathing in that sample—or as little as possible. But you still need to give Noise Reductio...

Re: Wanted: mastering chain for meeting ACX Guidelines

Therein lies the rub. I read that about eight times and I still can't see the process. Stop me if I say anything wrong. The Tascam show plays OK from Audacity and the Saved Audacity Project plays perfectly when re-opened. I assume the show also plays OK at the Tascam headphone connection? It should...

Re: mono (L) and mono mix conversions to stereo

Q3. Why do Audacity open my 24 bit files as 32 float? Default (pref) is 24 bit. What happens when I return the 24bit file to 24 bit? Any loss? Audacity always works internally at 32-bit floating in order to avoid damage from effects and filters. It's possible to overload 32-float (go up beyond 0dB)...

Re: Crazy amounts of noise

Can you open the file in Windows Media and is it OK there?

Re: Please help, simple issue.

Projects don't save UNDO. Once you close Audacity, it cleans its UNDO system of all old work. This is why we tell people to keep a safety copy of original work. The cousin version of this problem is when the computer crashes while holding the show and there is no clean copy of the work available the...

Re: Wanted: mastering chain for meeting ACX Guidelines

Can you tell what that is (turn the volume down)? If you can get rid of it, you won't need the Noise Reduction step.

Re: Wanted: mastering chain for meeting ACX Guidelines

Attached a patched clip. The full piece is winging it's way to your mailbox. The big file makes ACX conformance if you analyze the whole piece. You have a couple of sharp volume changes in the work which mess with the measurements. This clip was specifically chosen to include one of those emphatic p...
