Hiss is a real problem although in moderate amounts it can suppressed, sometimes enough to make the performance pass. Please note that I'm using all soft and gooshy words. The worst thing about Noise Removal is its name. That suggests it's possible to Remove Noise with the tool. It's not. A much mor...

You'll have to use a lot more English words.

The AUP file is not sound. It's a list of instructions of how Audacity should manage all the stuff inside the _DATA folder with the same name. They sent the plastic menu without the actual roast beef. When the _DATA folder arrives, make sure it's in the same directory or folder as the AUP file and d...

You were able to play the show while it was in Audacity and after you applied the corrections, right? Then, no matter how you Exported it, the sound was damaged? That's where you sailed into Never-Never-Land. Anybody can create an MP3 that sounds funny. MP3 has tuners and adjustments and it's easy t...

You can put a label anywhere in the performance you want in real time. This isn't the metadata panel at the end of the show. This is a separate track that marks points during the show.
