Re: HELP! RECOVERING DATA

I was working on a 2 hour podcast that I wanted to split into two parts. So the first thing you did was File > Export a perfect quality WAV sound file of the long show as backup and moved it to somewhere safe. made a copy of the audacity file I think that's where it started to fall apart. You can't...

Re: Meeting ACX Audio Submission Requirements

audacity screen shows my recordings all between 1.0 and -1.0. That may be slightly too high. A good goal is blue wave peaks around -6dB or 50%. StandardRecordingLevels-650w.jpg That's an actual voice which was slightly non-symmetrical toward high (normal for some people). The bouncing sound meter s...

Re: Meeting ACX Audio Submission Requirements

Yes. Noise the hard one for home readers. In English, your background noise has to be a thousand times quieter than your voice. It's not unusual for your laptop fan to be louder than that. Those are the hardware restrictions generally tested by a robot, but after you pass that, you also have to pass...

Re: Audacity 2.4.2 not playing audio on macOS Catalina

MacBook Air Speakers I wonder if that's not the Macbook's internal speakers. My Macbooks's speakers were pretty dreadful and it was a nice shock when I bought the Air and the built-in sound was so much better. No trouble watching a movie or show on the Air whereas that was a stretch on the Macbook....

Re: Distorted playback...sometimes

where's your version? [Puzzled Puppy Look] I don't have a version. I applied that single filter to the sound file you post on the forum and it appeared to solve what I perceive to be the slight conflict. I didn't keep the second file and I couldn't get the original to break. I posted how I did it. ...

Re: Distorted playback...sometimes

A digitizing system has to assign numbers to every note you perform if we have any hope of playing the notes back later. The WAV you posted has some high pitched, crisp sound energy dangerously close to the digitizing limit and the recorder might have trouble making a proper sound file, or worse, th...

Re: Distorted playback...sometimes

There is one. There is high pitched, crisp sound really close to the digitizing limit of 44100.

Re: Distorted playback...sometimes

It's rich in overtones and slightly higher volume right there, but I don't hear anything wrong.

Can you play it in QuickTime?

Re: Distorted playback...sometimes

Select, export WAV, and post ten seconds of a passage that causes troubles.
