But yeesh, I thought I was so fortunate to actually have a quiet room that so many don't. You do have a quiet room. It's the computer that's noisy. I could also get a USB extender for the meantime. You should be able to park the computer outside the room and snake the cable past the doorway without...

normalisation to trim the red bars The red bars are places where the recording has overloaded and very likely created distortion or other sound damage. Applying Normalize (or Amplify) makes the distortion slightly quieter so it no longer triggers the red bars. The distortion is still there. If you ...

lists of correct pronunciations of words in a language. More properly "clips" rather than lists. That's from history when people used to save portions of sound by clipping the tape they were recorded on. You stumped the band there. Normally a speed change is the result of a recording wher...
