Audacity Forum

a website that will host tracks for editing. Does this mean the track is on a server in Philadelphia but the person editing is in San Francisco? Audacity doesn't "know" about network delays. Most attempts at split editing like that don't work very well -- even if you have terrifically goo...

You may be able to get headset microphones other than this one. This is just the one I have hands-on experience with. I suspect you could get several different microphone types to work if you jammed them against your face like this one. That's the magic. Not the capsule design or the boom constructi...

Can the AKG C555L be mounted on a mic stand? Sure. You just can't use it that way. It's a headset and works by being an inch from your lips. Those hooky things go over your ears. The cable plugs in behind your head. It's more comfortable than it looks. You can mount it with the microphone boom on e...

Audacity does not save sound files. It saves Projects. To get a standard, stand-alone music file you need to Export one. As long as you didn't delete or move anything, the show should still be there. You are intended to double click on the .AUP file with the same name as your show. The .AUP file, th...

Skips, stutters and holes in the playback? Did you fill up your hard drive? Sound takes up a lot of room and if you never optimized your hard drive or pushed some of the older stuff onto backup storage or emptied the trash, you could be filling up. The computer slows down when you do that and it can...

Here's the direct comparison between a real Shure SM-58 and a no-name ES-58 on the same microphone stand. The first segment is the intro from one microphone and then I split them. So Left is one and Right is the other. In Audacity, you can split Stereo Track and make mono out of both of them so they...

This is how I got the podcast clip. No special soundproofing although I do have carpeting and wall to wall bookcases. You can just see the headset on the left.

Please note typing nearer the end of the piece. That's Denise, not me. Those noises are coming through the Skype channel, not my microphone. I have a picture of my setup, and I also have a comparison sound check between the SM58 and the ES58.

As we go.

This is me on a broadcast microphone.

Here's a very high quality MP3 of a Skype test I did with Denise in New Jersey. I'm in LA. My mic is the AKG C555L in my living room with no noise suppression and with traffic noises outside. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/clips/DeniseFirstPass-WholeShowCompressed.mp3 It's the whole eleven minut...
