I have to catch up. Didn't we say you could filter your work to gain compliance? It's not going to be drop-dead easy, but it could be done. Oddly this is where higher recording standards (24bit, etc) would be handy. It's easier to effectively use filters and effects. So yes, the lower end equipment ...

Do you agree with Chris that the Dual Pre is the source of my noise? If it's hiss, yes. Unless you have a serious gas leak in your house, that kind of noise is almost certainly coming from the microphone preamplifier inside the digitizer. Those are stunningly hard to build correctly and cheaply. Mi...

The goal is not Warner Brothers Record and Tapes. I produced an ACX compliant sound clip with that inexpensive and common but workable equipment. The UCA-202 has Burr-Brown chips inside and works very well. I have and use two. Koz

Getting the microphone connected to the computer is precisely the point where several forum postings are stuck. There are quick and convenient USB microphone digitizers that tend not to work very well and full-on mixer systems that work terrifically, but are more complicated (and usually expensive) ...

If the Project is still open, Audacity keeps a running list of all your effects, so it should be possible to repeatedly UNDO your way out. If you exported a sound file or saved your Project and you really mean the Echo effect, you're dead. The export has the echo burned in and Projects do not save U...

speakers, my browser, and audacity, In self recording, unfortunately, they can all get into the act. Many soundcards send the sound all the way out to the speaker system before turning it around and bringing it back to record. Many people find it difficult to get the recording levels right without ...
