Audacity Forum

I'm bothered by the instructions that say the device is bi-directional, but doesn't suggest how it knows when to switch. I've never heard noise like that. It may be just broken. I've had very good luck with the Behringer devices. Here's a UCA-202 on my mixer. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/p...

I don't hear any "rumble" at all. I hear the air conditioner and other dead air noise It's there. There's a very low pitch growl component to the air conditioner that is apparent on larger sound systems. If you can't hear it, it just means some of your listeners are going to hear it and s...

But I've tried plenty of values and I never feel like it sounds... right. It never sounds like the studio you should have been recording in. Velvety quiet backgrounds are terrifically difficult to achieve. Past the obvious pounding air conditioning and gamer computer fans (now that we got that stra...

There's only so much you can do with a noisy room or a recording made in a noisy room. In Noise Reduction, increase the first number (Noise Reduction (dB)) by two or three every jump until you notice the voices turning honky or bubbly. That's the limit. Remember the Profile Capture step is all impor...

Use Append-Record (Shift-R) and Audacity will jam your new recording at the end of your old one. You can rescue an old, multi-track recording by shifting tracks later and later with the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows) until they match end to end. Audacity will play them all unless you te...

In this particular instance, the computer has no analog method of getting the show to Audacity, so no, you can't just run an RCA to mini plug cable from one to the other. We have seen this before and/or experienced people arriving on the forum saying they were assured absolutely that they could get ...

Wav1 has several problems. I posted a picture of all the overload points in the show. All those red bars are places where the the voice signal got too loud. It overloaded the sound channel and you're stuck with the crunchy, harsh sound. Sorry. The sound clip is Effect > High Pass Filter: 100Hz, 24dB...

People have been known to shut down air conditioners and refrigerators during recording. You've seen those big Hollywood soundstages that look like you could land a small plane in there? When the director yells Roll!, the building air conditioning shuts down to zero. It's dead quiet when he yells Ac...

multiple people in a room that was not great for recording Nobody thinks about this before the fact, but if you continue doing that, it means you need to go through the Noise Removal and patching exercise every show . Editing may already add significant time to the production of the show and you'll...

"...I wanna wander about." There's always a solution. You can do that with lavalier microphones and radio packs. You can wander wherever the radio receiver can receive your signal. Of course that's not cheap... Perhaps the lady can be convinced to stay in one chair with something tasty fro...
