exactly the freq where is the metronome clicking: Yes, but. Metronome clicks are splattery. See in the posted spectrogram, the clicks are tall? They cover multiple frequencies. That's why this is such a pain-in-the-neck problem. This is a lot like telling someone to separate out one musical instrum...

Then my other option is to go through every milometer of the track and reduce the volume of these click when they are apparent.

I thought you were going to fix the recorder and shoot it again.

I'll shelve these tracks and wait until I can redo the recordings.

And what does it mean for the following three ticks to be located close to the horizon of the track? Does that represent amplitude or pitch? Spectrogram View is frequency (pitch) up and down, duration left to right, and loudness is colour. You can drag the timeline taller and the frequencies listed...

If it fails it will be because of a problem other than signal boosting.

You neatly sidestepped one "problem" conventional dynamic microphones have. They're balanced. They bring out the two ends of the coil of wire vibrating in front of the magnet and neither one is connected to the case. That's pins 2 and 3 of the XLR connector and you would have to actively u...

Are you on Audacity 2.4.2? If you haven't already, File > Save Project > Save Lossless Copy under a unique filename. Set up for another recording as a test and this time leave your headphones off and under a pillow or blanket. It doesn't matter what the performance is; we're trying to see if the lea...

There is one mind-bendingly common problem when you're overdubbing and that's to have the backing track show up in your performance. It can be bad settings. Leaky headphones need not apply. Make sure your recording device under the little microphone symbol is a real "thing" such as one of ...

Missed one. If you do use the Mic-In, you don't use the Right amplifier on the little board.

Koz

But, why there is no left & right? There will be if you make one. The little board has two independent amplifiers and the only thing common is the five volt rails and ground. Solder your dynamic microphone "hot" wire to both Right and Left channel inputs. The microphone shield goes to...

One other handy number. One of my commercial dynamic microphones has a rated output under normal use of -56dB. That's why your dynamic microphone makes you scream into it to make up difference between that and the 40dB boost of your computer soundcard. An extra 20dB boost should make up the differen...
