Audacity Forum

edit the sound in audacity to make it sounds so much more immersive. Who did the lead-in track? Do you want to sound more like him? I think there's basically just a volume difference. The position of the volume controls on the microphone don't make as much difference as where the Audacity sound met...

Did this ever happen before? How many interviews have you done like this? How did it get corrupted? Batteries go flat?
Are you on a Mac? The same Mac that made the show?
