Audacity 2.4.2 always seemed to work? Or were you using an even earlier version?

Google, of all places, came up with another idea. While you're listening to the beeping, unplug the microphone. You may get a loud pop when you do that, so watch your ears.

One more tiny test. If you click on the recording sound meters, it should say "Start Monitoring?" and say yes. That allows you to listen to your microphone through Audacity without starting a recording. Still beeping? The good-ish news is we can get rid of it in post production processing with the M...

Sound files. They do say so. The sampling rate (lower left in the Audacity window) has to be 44100. Screen Shot 2021-04-11 at 9.15.39 AM.png That's the number for Audio CD. That's not the only common number. 48000 is the rate used in video. I'm pretty sure they won't accept that, but you can convert...

How are you going to do the Zoom thing? Given the problems it can cause on your machine, Zoom will happily record your voice for you, even, as I understand it, split your two voices, but it's Zoom Quality and generally not theater quality fit for audiobooks. You should settle that pretty quick. That...

I don't even know what I should be asking. S'OK. There is a list of common questions and mistakes. If I make a mistake and want to go back and record over a section, I can't figure out how to do that. the recording only picks up at the end of where I left off before. Editing in the middle is hard. ...

Nobody said you can't save Audacity Projects in the middle of production. You can totally do that, but it's important that the first reading and the edit master also be in WAV. A word about your constant saving. You are creating one save. You are constantly updating one Project file and if anything ...

Audacity doesn't save sound files. It saves Projects which, in the case of 3.0.0, are single, unique files that save production information such as tracks, configurations, etc. I think it's still true they do not save UNDO. You can't open a Project and "Go Back." You can Edit > UNDO all you want whi...

I'm assuming that each chapter will be recorded as a separate track Separate file. Think of how you're going to identify each chapter/file. It's pure bookkeeping. You can do it by date/chapter, but don't use punctuation marks in the filename other than -dash- and _underscore_. Use ISO dates. Today ...

I'm recording an audiobook for a memoir I have coming out next fall. I assume with Audible/ACX. They have a New and Improved requirement that your audio production is of a book already for sale as paper or ebook on Amazon. Don't get the publication order off. They make several cross-references in y...
