Audacity Forum

A note: This configuration is perfect for one-on-one interviews. One channel is your voice from a lavalier or tie-tack microphone (which obviously moves with you) and the other microphone can be a hand-held long-form microphone that you jam in the subject's face. There were microphones designed to d...

We recommend, strongly, that you shoot separate people on separate tracks in order to give you the most versatility in post production, but not very many people take us up on that. It's expensive. You need to have good "studio" sound isolation and two matched microphones with two separate ...

We know there's something funny with the Audacity system. That's old news. Did you try the Apple Systems panel and meter?

Most of the effects and tools have no idea what sound is. They do simple, glazed-eye calculations and go home. I record with a digital recorder (Zoom h4n) and two Shure SM58 microphones. My version is an older H4 and one SM58. To fix the sound levels I used Effects/Amplify. That seemed to do nothing...

I would like to make this tool more broadly useful. That occurred to me as well. This is the "Paul L Mouth Smack Filter." The chances of making it work with somebody else's mouth geometry may be remote. You can certainly make sliders and adjustments so the tool is valuable to multiple dif...

What kind of DJ equipment do you have and how do you have it connected, and to what kind of computer? Windows can have many sound settings that don't like music very much.
