I think the best you can do is add the two songs together and then divide by two. Each of the singers will appear together, but at half volume. Vocal removal, sucking out the lead singer, is a dead simple arithmetic job. Anything the same in both tracks vanishes. The other variations seems like they...

Restart Audacity. Audacity looks for new devices when it starts.

Sorry. That's 44100 rate audio, not 4100. Music CD standard. The issues concern RMS levels, peaks and overprocessing by noise reduction. All very common problems with someone recording in a polished, bare floor living room or office with noisy computers. We can't give you a "push this button an...

What affordable mic with headphone monitoring could I plug into it? The UCA202 supports a headphone plugged into the side. It has no provision for a microphone. You're in the sweet spot where pro equipment is petering out and bargain-basement sound equipment isn't good or stable enough. I'm testing...

I still wonder where those infernal clicks come from, it's presumably a property of those snow balls. I'm not hearing anything. Did you hear problems on Ian's work? Will the work pass noise without removing them? I noticed a large bump in the Room Tone analysis around 90Hz and Steve's Voice doesn't...

We're working on a recipe to fix common processing errors. Can you post large sound files where we can access them? Post about five seconds of mono, 44100 WAV format dialog and a little Room Tone (hold your breath and stop moving for five seconds). Post the raw capture . We're not interested in how ...

It's common advice for podcast producers to make a "Room Tone" segment in a recording. Stop what you're doing for five seconds and hold your breath while recording. That then becomes the Noise Removal Profile. Literally, the Tones that the Room (and microphone system) is making without you...

Skype is not a thing to record from like a microphone or a vinyl player. It's an environment and it sets its own management, levels and sound pathways. If you mess with them manually, the Skype conversation may crash. Same with games. Usually specialty software is required to record either one.

The ICUSBAUDIO isn't necessarily bad, it's unstable. I use them on another computer with no USB cable and it works every day with no noise. We used them at work with no apparent problems. We know from other posts that you can change the environment and get the whine to come and go. Many lower end US...

USB microphones are simple sound devices (normally) and you can sometimes manage them independently enough to record (with occasional sync problems). Skype and Games are computing environments that tend not to play well with others. Very different. You can sometimes used specialized software like FR...
