Audacity Forum

I'm going to try that again after the sun comes up. I do get both of those pages with my simple Amazon login, but I think your playground page is different from mine. Thanks for the pictures. If so, then that explains ACX's posting to go to second tier web sites and forums ([caugh] Audacity [caugh])...

I had a little Sunday time free and I tried to submit a short sound test to ACX Audiolab. How? I have an Amazon account, so it let me in, but the Audiolab page sends me to Playground. Playground sends me back to Audiolab. On none of those pages is there provision to submit a sound file. The Audiolab...

getting the results in a txt report? That's the part not likely to work right. ACX Check is only neat and orderly when everything passes.

Change > Tempo is the one that can make things sound like bad cellphone. Change > Speed is the one that sounds like dragging your finger on the record or playing it at the wrong speed. Change Speed can be handy if you have a track at the wrong speed because of a sampling rate error or other digital ...

You can force a track to change rhythm, pitch, etc, during post production editing, but what those tools actually do is rip the track sounds apart, mangle them to a new standard and smash them back together again. It usually sounds like that, too, not even counting the time it takes. Far better to m...

I can do my overdub in Wave Tracks Live (stripped down Ardour) and export the WAV file from that into Audacity

Sounds good.

Are you using the technique where each party in a call records their own microphone and sends the sound file to a central point for editing? Normally, that's a terrific idea and is one of the recommended ways to record a multi-party show, however, it does depend on a lot of moving parts all working ...
