The nylon stockings do not prevent fuzzy-breathy. They prevent explosive P and B sounds if you're too close to the microphone. "I need you to PPPut the BBBeets carefully in the PPPot." A good pop filter doesn't affect normal SSS and FFF sounds at all. Start by selecting the voice track and...

We've had file management programs that posted the wrong framerate in the file header. If the program paid attention to it, it gave one number and if it didn't, you got another. One of those errors took us days to figure out. You don't need iTunes to get Goldwave to work, but you may need QuickTime ...

It almost has to be a framerate conversion issue (although I can't figure out how). That error and the fact that the sound gets there first is normal. I've had tools report the wrong framerate to me.

I'm sticking with the "walks like a duck" theory until somebody proves me wrong. Koz

We should figure out where the problem actually is. If you have blue waves and bouncing red sound meter about here or higher... http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_record.jpg ...then you are making a good recording and the problem is playing it back. If the blue lines are almost flat and the re...

Drop-Frame actually drops time elements through the course of the show to make everything come out even. You're not actually missing television frames in the show. If you number every frame in NTSC, 60:00:00 is not an hour-long show. That's non-drop frame. If you use drop-frame, it is. Drop-Frame ca...

though unfortunately it cannot be done in real time

Where is it written you have to play the song in Audacity? Play it in Windows Media or VLC Player, QuickTime Player or iTunes and tap with your pencil into a recording. Run the algorithm and poof: BPM.

I know you don't want a mono show, but if you have phase reversal problems they might not show up until you shock the system by converting a song to mono as a test. If it magically sounds a lot like your CD error that might tell us where to look. Koz

....Put down three, carry the two..... That's about a frame off per minute isn't it? That's the offset between American video 29.97 and 30. It could be complete coincidence, but I have enough bloody knuckles with those two numbers to recognize the symptoms. I have no idea where you would get that er...

That was the low-hanging fruit. Now we need to know the whole thing. Laptop? How is the church mixer connected to your computer? What changed between the last time it worked and now? Is Windows set for Auto Update? Do you have any other sound programs working? Is this your personal computer and do y...

I can see a version of that done by tapping on your microphone to the beat of a song and capture it in Overdubbing. That should be a simple matter of counting the waves over a certain level and appropriate maths -- extrapolating to a minute and divide. The setup for that would be strenuous, but it w...
