Audacity Forum

This is your clip after simple, gentle processing (wait until 17 seconds). http://www.kozco.com/tech/clips/harshness-test-Amplify-NR.wav The file is much bigger now because you can't repeatedly compress MP3. Amplify to -1 target (Never Amplify to 0. That can cause problems later). I used the first s...

Record something typical like your first published test but don't do anything to it. Doesn't matter what the level is. Post that somewhere. If you throw enough technology at it we can't tell where the problem stops and your patching starts. You can get into serious trouble with Normalize and Amplify...

We warn people not to dump bushel baskets of effects & plugins into Audacity "just because you can." If you did a relatively plain install of Audacity, Go > Applications > Audacity > Plugins. Take the effects in that folder and trash them, or make them so Audacity can't find them. Leav...

I'm putting out feelers for people who rent studio facilities -- at least in LA where I am. I want to get an idea of the hoops you have to jump through. LA has more than their share of rehearsal spaces and "four-wall" empty buildings that you can shoot a movie in, but the broadcast studios...

The Windows ".exe" installer comes with the help files. The Zip compressed program suite does not. Do you remember how you installed Audacity -- and on what? You posted in a portion of the forum where we can't tell anything about you.

Headsets are required for a multi-party show. You can do a sub-grade school version where everybody sits around a big table with a microphone in the middle and you record the microphone. You need a very quiet room for this. We have a conference room that works this way. A second computer on the tabl...

It pays handsomely to figure out what went wrong, because the patch-up tools never work as well as you think.

If you listen to the tapes separate from the computer, do they sound OK? Are they missing many if not all of the pops and crackles?

So I started doing some podcasting last year on my own I want capability of recording up to 4 people. Likely it will always be me and a co-host, and a sporatic guest here or there. That sound a little like you? http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=66532 This went on for five chapt...

What you're looking for isn't simple. When you were doing your Skype conference, you were using the enormous Skype infrastructure/services to help you manage voices, directions, echo and volume. That all happened gracefully in the background leading you to think this is a snap. Now you have to do it...

Missed one. For all those people who want to measure room noise with Audacity, you can't. There's no direct translation between dBFS and dBSPL. You need to break down and buy a sound pressure level meter.
