Audacity Forum

Also remember Audacity has no "Clip Info." It will not reliably tell you what your clip specifications are.

On a Mac you can use QuickTime Command-I and on Windows you can try Media INFO.

And that doesn't explain random insane behavior. We keep snapping back to that. The problem behavior is not sane. If Norton decided that it found evil, it would wipe out whole folders or file collections -- consistently -- and probably warn you it was doing it. NORTON 360 HAS FOUND THE "DIRTY D...

They wouldn't. Both of those affect the whole show at once. People post questions like this trying to rescue a basket case show, so to prevent hours of useless work, can you post a bit of the interview featuring both performers? A couple of words of each will do. Do Not try to help it out. Send the ...

No, there's also a peak at 100Hz, which is consistent with 50Hz power.

This is what mine sounds like. No soundproof room, either.

I don't agree the problem is centered around 50Hz. I get a much lower number -- around 18Hz or so, plus a peak around 60 which puts you in the US, yes?

I don't have any ready answers. I've never heard that kind of problem before. I think I can build that sound from multiple failures...

That's very odd noise (illustration). "Normal" instabilities or power supply noises always have piercing, frying mosquito sounds. Not velvet rumble. I'm trying to think where I've heard that before (besides Los Angeles earthquake). Editors Keys Studio Series SSX1. Oh, right. That's a cousi...

It's not the microphone you have to worry about. Any omnidirectional microphone should do a bang-up job. It's the room that's the problem. Echoes and reverberation kill you on conference recording. The deader and quieter you can make the room, the better. Voices will take care of themselves -- assum...

KORG Kaossilator jams and record youtube samples at the same time. One of the reasons we're trying to nail down what you're doing is the possibility that what you had before was broken and what you have now is normal. This isn't as odd as you think. There is a guy producing a complicated but very w...

This is similar to another posting today from someone who wanted to rescue a fatally damaged cellphone recording. Audacity can't do "CSI" TV show style rescues. There are no forensic tools or filters. We can't start with unlistenable trash and pull out the words or sounds. The best we can ...
