Audacity Forum

All's well that ends well.

Not entirely. We can't tell anybody else what you did to cure the problem. The forum is a group dialog. Koz

Oh wait. You're on a Mac. I don't have any handy software for that. Koz

Audacity doesn't actually edit MP3 files. It imports them as a separate file type and then exports a whole new MP3 when it's done. This means the compression sound damage always goes up when you edit MP3 music in Audacity.

You can use the Overdubbing tools working a second conversation against the first, but chances of getting each exchange to exactly match in time is almost zero and it do...

You're going to need to get more specific. It sounds suspiciously like you're trying to bring a bad Skype recording back to life by artificially recreating the live ping pong conversation in the studio. That's perfectly valid, but we can't "morph" anything. If you don't have access to both...

From our experiences in video, live production on external USB devices is usually not successful because of the USB half-duplex nature. Bidirectional Firewire is much better and you can sometimes get away with that, but both are left in the dust by internal drives. And people sometimes have trouble ...

Would that work? http://www.kozco.com/tech/clips/kazoo-voice.wav That's an existing voice I had for another project.
