Re: Need Recording Advice
Dueling posts. Bare floor, ceiling and walls. That's not a problem is it? Get a piece of stiff cardboard, say 1M (3') on a side, throw a towel over it and jam it between the computer tower (or wherever the computer is) and the microphone. You can do noise suppression in real time. Put your headphone...

Re: Need Recording Advice
As an example, I once shot a passable voice job with a noisy laptop (and separate microphone) by putting the laptop on a chair with a blanket over it facing away from the job. It was a very large room, so the echoes had a long way to go before they came back. As Steve, above, distances can be your f...

Re: Need Recording Advice
it seems to still linger under my voice when I am actually talking. Yes, that's what "smoothing" does. In order to keep your voice from going all honky and bubbly from noise reduction, Smoothing makes Noise Removal stop working during your words. The idea is your voice is supposed to be l...

Re: Help a noob
You seem to be doing the microphone and room thing OK, so you can probably sneak a little echo in there. Just on your voice and don't go nuts, the object is not for it to sound like a bathroom. There are other echo generators than the one in Audacity. You might also try a little Auto Tune. I don't r...

Re: Recover Deleted Material?
The truly compulsive save safety projects as they go with the date and time (your option) in the filename. Use the ISO dates. Today is 2014-02-24. Do Not use slash marks in your filenames. If you have a computer "event" that destroys the current project, you can go back to the last one you...

Re: Recover Deleted Material?
One of the ways that Audacity Projects can be set up is to not make "personal copies" of outside songs and sounds, but reference them or point to them when they're needed. This can be very, very fast and is beneficial on a large show, but the down side is Audacity needing to know exactly w...

Re: MacBook Pro Bug
any attempt to use Built In Output results in a popping noise then a very distant, low volume, hollow sounding playback through only one speaker (on my 2009 MBP, on the right), if at all. So the switching fails. Built-In Output and Internal Speakers are the same thing. Software senses when you plug...

Re: Vinyl playthrough works sometimes; other times just beep
Here it is. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103710 That will adapt the RCA cables from the back of the turntable to the Stereo Line-In of your Mac. You do need to be very careful because this thing puts mechanical strain on the connector in the Mac. The adapter itself and the ...
