Re: record from audio stream

It's not a question of whether Audacity can do this. Audacity will record whatever the computer presents to it. The question is do you have a computer that can handle this.

Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

Only eight more chapters and we can compete with bgravato for the longest thread on the forum. All he was doing was recording his acoustic guitar with one microphone.

Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

I'm just now paying strict attention to the Presonus microphone interface. There's no provision to plug it into the wall. I wonder if it's going to have tortured mosquito problems of its own.

Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

Back in the dark ages of color (colour) television, there was a standing joke. Many people could align a home TV set (Convergence, Purity, Beam Focus, etc) but only the Masters knew when to stop.

Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

Yeah. That works.

No more 60Hz error. The next closest peak is 104Hz (whatever that is) at -70dB. Gently push down the mosquitoes and you got it.

Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

nobody ever told me which Limiter they use, Did someone say you needed a limiter? I think maybe you can carefully squeeze the top volume bits a little to even things out with Effects > Compressor and then Normalize or Amplify to -3. Or leave it the way it is. Everything you do to the show will have...

Re: Salvaging GoPro Voice Recording

So this is an extraordinary circumstances shoot. It's still true that the instant you graduate to a more serious shoot, you cast off the camera built-in sound. There is a sister posting to this one where someone did a separate-sound shoot almost by accident. After we solved a sync issue or two, it w...

Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

These are the headphones I'm using now The headphones seem fine. Many different headphones can be made to work, but the question is can you wear them comfortably for long periods. Both the Koss Pro4AA and the Sony MDR-7506 are without question terrific headphones, but I personally can't wear either...

Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

The raw presentation can stand up to just a bit more Noise Suppression to get you over the boost you're going to get when you punch the voice volume to make the -3 peak specification. Attached is the Noise Removal settings I used. I used a segment between the first and second word as the Profile. Yo...
