Re: Audio Only Coming In Left Headphone

(or listen to any audio on any program) That didn't come out right. If you tell any program, not Audacity, to play sound, it comes out on the left? This is a Left-Right-Stereo test sound file. https://www.kozco.com/tech/LRMonoPhase4.mp3 It's stereo, but play it anyway in Audacity and listen to the ...

Re: Why Clipping is Worse in MP3?

Yes, plus the fact that MP3s can go over 0 dB. There is another reason. MP3 is a compressed format and one of its tricks to getting small files is to leave some sounds out. Complex waves are made up of a lot of different harmonics, beats, and overtones. It's one of the things that let you tell diff...

Re: Better Noise Reduction in New Versions

There is already Noise Gate which reduces the volume of sound below a set threshold. Further, it has tuning tools so it can take different actions depending on what you want. Screen Shot 2020-09-12 at 8.43.19 AM.png The only thing it can't do is take actions depending on a Profile. You might see if ...

Side note: The older iShowU driver for self-recording is being changed into SWB Audio Capture, which is in turn only available inside the iShowU Apps. Full Stop.

Re: Is there a way to dub a mono track?

There's another note. Because we can't take a mix apart later, it's critically important that you have individual perfect quality WAV files of all the parts.

(I'm a newly online instructor who sometimes gets a few words wrong in a video lecture.) Points to you for correcting errors. There's just nothing like an instructional video where the watcher is forced to sit through mistake after mistake and then the fixes. "Oh, I didn't mean to do that.&quo...

Re: audacity stops recording while I am still narrating
