We were just congratulating ourselves; "Thank goodness he doesn't want to involve Skype/Telephone/Cellphone." Me, the co-host and a caller from states away. D'Oh! We need to sit down and read through that. The grownups do this kind of thing with a mix-minus panel. The person on the cellpho...

MP3 is a delivery format not a production format. It's the music that you put on your Personal Music Player and enjoy it and that's the end. MP3 gets small, efficient sound files for your music player by creating sound damage and then cleverly hiding it so most people can't tell it's there. The inst...

I know the temptation to use MP3 for your music is terrific, but MP3 causes sound damage and should be avoided for any music production.

Export your WAV file as you did before as a protection copy in case you mess something up. Set that aside. Then put a Label (Tracks > Add Label at Selection -- It's Command-B on a Mac) at the beginning of each song you want separated -- including the first one. Then File > Export Multiple and follow...

You may need two posts. One should be "clean" nose. Noise with nothing else going on like talking, music or barking. The second post should be a portion that you want to try and clean -- with the interview or talking.

(I had installed it for a simple M4a to mp3 conversion). Depending on how you're doing that, you can do a very credible job right inside iTunes. You can get far away effects by decreasing the bass a little with the equalizer tool and then adding a little echo with GVerb. GVerb is a little sticky to...

What kind of microphone do you have, how is it connected and do you have it selected in the Device Toolbar? http://manual.audacityteam.org/help/manual/man/device_toolbar.html I assume you're speaking against a music bed and you're using the overdubbing or multi-track instructions to get there. http:...

All the leveling, volume control, compression and processing tools can actually make noise removal worse or more difficult. The only two that actually do anything valuable are Noise Gate and Noise Removal. http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Effect_Plug-ins#Noise_Gate Noise Gate tries to suppr...
