Re: How do I make the waveform thicker?

The blue waves are a measurement of how loud your show is. They're not a tool to change anything. If you make your show louder, the blue waves will get taller top to bottom. They are another way to measure sound and are a cousin to the red and green bouncing light sound meters. You can't tell what's...

Re: White Band Displayed Across Wave Form

You clicked on the Envelope Tool. Two white arrows and bent blue line. Click on the "I-beam" tool.

Re: Pioneer D-1000 recorder on auction in Germany

It's a DAT recorder. Stay Away!! DAT recorders have a terrible reputation in the industry. Always bring a backup recorder to a DAT shoot so at least you go home with something. Most DAT machines have an Importance Circuit. They can tell when you have a critical shoot so they know when to fail. It's ...

Didn't you write something that automatically backed up when you pressed stop?

Re: Audio disappearing as Audacity records

the recording failures are rare, random and total, and cured by closing and opening Audacity. We are chasing other rare production technical problems as well. They're called "Moon Phase" problems for a reason. "It's the last quarter. Time for the playback buffers to flush themselves ...

Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

Too much work. That's what happens when you do too many facelifts and botox shots on the sound. Not only wobbling, but the voice sounds like "talking down a tube." It's a danger sign when someone posts about the second time they applied noise removal. Generally, the first one causes enough...

Re: Manipulating Decibels

It's been fun analyzing these performances to death, but snapping back to the original goal for a minute: What one button press would you apply to "fix" a production with a higher noise level than Xena and lower overall volume. In other words, a normal submission. I'll give you that anybod...

Re: Manipulating Decibels

... put some sort of screen between the microphone and the computer.. Any drywall left over? Just kidding. This can be as exciting as throwing a quilt over a chair between you and the computer. I had to do that once when a laptop decided it was getting just too darn hot in the middle of an importan...

Re: Remote naming of tracks

I am using the Task Scheduler in WIN7 to run a batch (.au3) file that starts and stops recordings in Audacity
I think we're all stunned you got it to work that far.
