I think we can do that, but you need to know that when we emphasize the low volumes and suppress the high ones, the room noise level is going to come up. If you've been just skating by with the neighbor's dog and traffic noise in the quiet parts of the show, those are going to get much worse. Most p...

Win7 has special provisions to recognize "Stereo-Mix," It's not easy and automatic like earlier Windows systems.

The problem for me is my laptop fan. Doesn't count. A rotating fan has periodic artifacts and regular spectra which lends itself to noise removal. Particularly if it's low level and you get the gating right you can do very well. Pink or white noise as from a microphone preamplifier has flat energy ...

It's probably good to know that many noise reduction programs (including Audacity) have some provision to do this. It's very difficult to remove hiss from a voice, so provision is made not to try. Gate reduction on and off during speech and if you play your cards right, nobody will notice because th...

People trying analyze sounds routinely get killed by overtones and harmonics. Anybody can pick a tuning fork out of a performance, but a sung note is a challenge. This is the analysis of one, single piano note: http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/piano_G1.jpg If it was in the middle of an orchestra, you'...

Talking like a robot is relatively easy by adding distortions and compression. Making your voice sound like another person you know is very difficult. Cellphones have enormous processing available to them in order to perform echo and noise cancellation in real time. We haven't got horsepower like th...

Is there any reason you can't use the on-line one? http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/ I've never used the download one, but isn't it laid out like that? A decision tree that can point you to the segment you need right away. My web site exists both on line and off and I can search either one as long a...

Oh, and Audacity doesn't do anything to the sound during recording. Whatever the computer provides is what Audacity records. Koz

You didn't get into details about how you're recording these shows, but one thing I might do is record a clock ticking for some time (20 minutes??) with the show configuration up and running, then do it again with nothing else running except Audacity. If your clicks don't match after 20 minutes then...

Both of the computers record at 44100 hz, with the same microphone, with the same program With different computer clock systems making the 44100Hz. Most clock signals just have to be accurate enough to keep the system or computer from crashing. There is a provision on some computers to record from ...
