Audacity Forum

Thinking about this for a bit, I guess it is possible to run the game sound through a MIDI interpreter and then play the MIDI song data into a full musical keyboard. I'm guessing that would sound weird because of the choppy nature of the game, but it would sound like an actual piano or violin. MIDI ...

Most of the sound came from the crappy game. The interstitial (3:16) was edited in from someplace else by the guy making the video. That's not part of the game.

There's no filter that can start with the boop-boop game sound and produce a full orchestration.

Quicktime Services understand perfectly the WAV format, so that should have worked. Did you Save a sound file or Export one? Audacity will not Save a sound file.

File > Export > Microsoft WAV.

Here's an example of a piano that does not set the overload lights or red bars, but is intensely distorted from overload/clipping before Audacity got to it. Nothing we do is going to fix that. Koz

...to use the compress effect...

Try Chris's Compressor for a denser, louder, more even sound without apparent distortion.

I change the first value, compression, from the default 0.5 to 0.77 or higher.

I'm not recording anything through Audacity. I know people who record their sets using pathways separate from the show. They have no "off-line" show. Everything they do is to a live floor. In general you can't "get rid of clipping" in post production. Once the sound hits or pass...

How did you record the voices? Koz

Legacy crosstalk. That's why I asked you about the bass guitar. A regular guitar can generate very healthy, powerful signals on its 1/4" plug. I know because I measured it. It's almost, but not quite as powerful as the signal from the Line-Out of your cassette machine, DVD player, or other home...

There is one thing you can do. Put your earbuds or headphones across an RCA cable plugged into the Line-Out in back of the unit. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/earBudsRCA.jpg Only one earbud will work -=- usually left. You should hear, quietly, the show at both RCAs. If you can only hear one...

No. You may be stuck with that one. The only way to get a recording in that case is record "Stereo-Mix" or "What-U-Hear" and in those cases, the floor volume and the Audacity volume are probably the same. You can't split them -- usually. On many machines, the two volume controls ...
