Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

Point me to Steve's Limiter that you used. You're so close that a number of different combinations will work and I still think you don't need all of the patches and corrections. So far: Normalize to 0 and remove DC while you're in there. Did we ever figure out why you record so low? Apply Steve's Hi...

Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

I need to step through it. Chapter 1 wav is just Chapter 1 raw with your settings, right? It's still slightly too noisy. You may have picked the wrong filters. That hum thing is very critical. I need to step through that and see what happened. I'm doing a non-audio job and I'm a little fried right n...

Re: Detect device

What does Windows think? Win7 has the ability to select an input device in control panels and show you the sound levels. Can you do that? Audacity can't work with anything that Windows doesn't know about.

Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

I need to go back and figure out what I listened to. I went to the hosting site with two different computers and I think I got a different order of clips. Everything is there. There's only one non-raw clip, right? That's the one that will not pass noise without Steve's high pass filter. I would use ...

A warning, Pamela is money-based software, but has a very high success rate.

Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

Oh, that is coming along, isn't it? The second Chapter 1 still has that hum in it, but it responds perfectly to Steve's equalization filter. Even better. It sounds like you and perfectly natural. No honk or other environment problems. I think it's submission ready (given the hum filter). The peaks a...

Re: Problem importing VOB

Video cameras frequently use unusual codecs.
Isn't the sales pitch for those things that they will play on a standard DVD player?

Re: Voice over tinny sound needs fixed

That's the recording in your mum's kitchen syndrome. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/clips/EchoSample.mp3 We have a partner posting where someone in Hollywood is ripping out his hall closet to put soundproofing in so he can record audiobooks without either that effect, or "talking in a box"...

Re: Recording a Multi-Point Interview

"Ideal for fitness buffs." That let's me out. Does look right, doesn't it? You start it running at the beginning of, what, probably the day and download it later. You could even have one per day to help with bookkeeping. I'm crushed that you can't get the 8GB model in Teal. I noticed nobod...
