Audacity Forum

It seemed to end abruptly on April 21, 2010. Possibly because we never got it to work? Successful threads usually end with wiki postings, confetti, alcoholic beverages and back thumping all around. Unsuccessful ones peter out and die. Since I can't think of a good way to do that, I'm going with the...

No, not exactly. You said you were recording from VLC. That's very different from just having VLC running. Audacity sees VLC as it's source of sound, so ungracefully removing that source may cause problems. Koz

Starting with the show in the Audacity window, Tracks > Add New Stereo Track. That should give you a blank track under the show. From there, you can copy and paste into the new blank track. Use the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows) to push the clip around to where you need it. Then you can...

He just wants good content. That's his new goal. He's now a producer. His old goal was professionally good sound. I shot one half of a radio show a couple of months back and they emailed me a short list of technical requirements. I already do most of them, so it was a piece of cake past the upset o...

We're going on about this because slightly low, gentle recordings can be easily cleaned up with Amplify or other tools. Overload and clipping are permanent distortions and may kill a show. Stark difference. While you're Normalizing or Amplifying to 0, please note that in some conditions, converting ...

This discussion has a more serious extension. Whatever we do to get the voice perfect is going to need to be applied to each and every performance forever. So fine tuning every phoneme may not be warranted faced with that. The Audacity "Chains" batch process is, I believe, not up to doing ...

I gotta go back and listen again. I'm at work. The only thing that bothered me was the slightly "essy" sound of his voice -- which I assume is natural. He's a reptile in addition to being unable to pronounce "button."

Suttering, clicking, popping, and playing off pitch are all symptoms of a computer that can't keep up with the work. Is this a new computer, or did you upgrade your computer multiple times? One single sound performance is stressy enough, but when you overdub, the computer has to keep track of two pe...

She sounds like she's talking on the phone. You can get that effect with Effect > Equalizer > Graphic Eq. Select the sliders below 300 and above 3000 and drag them down. That only gives you gentle equalization. For more serious drooping, select Draw Curves, drag and pull the blue line. It's a rubber...
