We should be careful with sound samples. I'm not always listening on the Office Killer Sound System. That's automatic voice processing. It may be all the tools trying to figure out what's happening. If you speak normally, the tools can usually hide and do their job without being obvious. You are doi...

Post some of the bad sound next to good sound. Maybe we're talking about two different kinds of sound damage.

I am starting to record an audiobook Are you self-publishing? ACX has very strict requirements for chapter breaks and file sizes. It's also a terrible idea to do production directly in MP3. You can't edit or manage MP3 without causing sound damage and compression quality problems. Did you mean you'...

don´t even see it on my iphone.. It's an optional download. I wonder what the phone thought it was curing. What are you recording? Were you in an echoey room? I've used Voice Memo in noisy restaurants and I thought the voices were going to be terrible, and they came out very reasonable. CafeIntervi...

I recorded ... something with my iphone What were you recording? iPhones have two live sound recorders. Voice Memo which can have problems like that and Music Memo which has no processing. I hope you know what kind of noise I mean Talking in a wine glass or milk jug. That's compression, noise reduc...

You can have "magic" tracks like that if your Left and Right sound is out of phase. These may sound OK on headphones or good quality stereo speakers, but will crash on single speaker systems, mono-mix systems, and cellphones. This looks like a normal stereo sound track. Screen Shot 2020-08...

CRL records your microphone input and speaker output, which makes it perfect for recording calls made with any softphone app (traditional audio recorders only record your microphone). So it didn't work. Do they have a forum or help desk where you can ask? The only way I know of to do a recording is...

their voice is really really quiet. It was recorded on a program called CR Lite. Recording a valuable call should be the second time you try this, not the first. If you can't recognize individual words, then the Audacity tools aren't going to do any good. You didn't get both sides of the conversati...

Any suggestions on how to rule out power issues as a source? No practical ones. I have a voltage stabilizing "Sola" transformer. They "know" what pure wall power looks like and only let through power that conforms to the specification. They make hummy noises, get hot, they're la...
