Re: Combining Analyze and Equalize

I'm experiencing a "talent curse." "Say, Koz, I'm having trouble making my web page look right, can you help?" "I need a simple web page to display my paintings -- and I'm heavily techophobic." "Oh and I need a business card, too, but I have no idea what my busines...

Re: Does anyone know how to do this?

The circle is usually just a teaching tool to illustrate how a sine wave is created from an even, cyclical event. There is no natural connection between the two since the circle is missing time or duration information. You can draw your own waves with the pencil tool in the standard tool box at the ...

Re: mp3 file 'quality'

I reduce them to 32 kBit/s - sound quality is suprisingly good! 32 is the lowest possible bitrate for a relatively undamaged mono recording. 64 for stereo. Lower than that and everybody can tell there's something wrong. You're likely to incite a religious war about MP3 compressors. The only "r...

Re: Restoring Muffled Voice?

But i cant deny that we used another software for this job. I dont know if i can say it's name here, but it is a expensive one ; ) The forum is a dialog where we get people out of trouble by whatever means we can. Audacity is a free product and so is the forum. There is no product conflict and we r...

Re: Clipped audio at -4db?

Consult the documentation. My older Empire turntable has provision to lift the table itself and inspect/add oil to the well revealed underneath. I'm trying to remember if my Techniques turntables would come apart and I think they did. The electronics were underneath. Can you, as an experiment, play ...

Re: Severe playback distortion defies all fixes?

Do you have a USB sound device you can listen to, such as a USB Gaming Headset, USB Headphones, a USB Recorder or maybe one of our favorite UCA202 devices?

Re: Severe playback distortion defies all fixes?

Re: Recorded band interview on phone app...band is very quie

Cellphone recorders don't record the far end, just you. What you actually got was acoustic leakage from the speaker to the microphone inside the cellphone. That's why it sounds so awful. It's a mistake. There isn't supposed to be anything there. There usually isn't much you can do. Effect > Amplify ...

Re: RMS value

When viewed as Waveform (dB) the dB values are equal (with a constant offset) to the sound level, for example SPL. There's a loaded phrase. A "Constant Offset" given the same type of microphone with the same frequency response, polar patterns, linearity and standardized compensation curve...
