Re: Manipulating Decibels

Is this what you meant by tips and techniques? Yes, but I don't think the posters are going to think so. I have a lovely quote from a poster. "I don't need studio quality." Studio quality is a clear voice that doesn't overload recorded in a quiet, echo-free room. What part of that don't y...

Re: Manipulating Decibels

No, I didn't use Chris's Compressor on the second process. Just those few simple tools to gently adjust levels and then push the noise level down just a touch . That's why I published the screen prints of the values I used. You should do those steps to your WAV master and submit that for testing. I ...

Re: Can't record with Windows 7

[regardless of the source of the recording. When people say that, they usually mean "I can't record from YouTube any more." Yes. Win7 made it more difficult to do that. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_windows.html http://manual.audacityteam.org...

Re: Start recording while NOT in audacity window?

If you post enough times, the system will get used to you and let you in automatically. Until then, we have to make sure you're not trying to sell us storm windows or male-enhancing drugs,

Re: Start recording while NOT in audacity window?

I think Audacity still needs focus in order to do anything. There's a lot of people who want command-line actions and I'm pretty sure we can't do that very well, either. Someone will correct me.

Re: Noise removal doing the opposite of what it should

There's also a clicky that reverses Noise Removal. It's an "Isolate" button.

Re: Noise removal doing the opposite of what it should

I don't think I would have clicked Repeat Noise Removal. That would have repeated Get Profile. So get the profile again and this time select all (or click above the MUTE button) and Effect < Noise Removal and this time select your removal parameters > OK.

Re: USB mic hiss/white noise

So you're making these. They don't come with the ferrite chokes.

I was going to say, I have clip-ons.

Re: Correct adapter for my mic + recorder combo?

You can get into trouble if one is a TRS and the other is a TS. How that missing metal ring is handled is sometimes the difference between having a microphone work and not. You can also have troubles with buzz rejection if you get those connections wrong. What is the microphone? There is a significa...
