Under what conditions do you get the sibilance? Harsh S sounds can be traced back to a bad microphone or MicPre. Best to get rid of it at the beginning rather than trying to fix it in post production.

If you really are on Audacity 1.2, you should probably stop. The instant you have problems with the older Audacity 1.2, we generally push you over to 1.3 from here.

You could get completely crazy and put one of the noise signals through the system, find out the non-linearities and damage in the system and generate tools that cancel them to zero. From that point forward, the channel should be clear and controllable -- assuming no echoes and nothing ever moves. Y...

Chains is the Audacity batch service. Each tool available in Batch has to be written specifically to do that, so it's a long painful process and only a limited number of tools is enabled.

I wrote an overdubbing/multi-track paper describing three different hardware devices that can perform perfect overdubbing -- all the voices are exactly where they're supposed to be. I included two software solutio...

That may be Windows-Speak for USB Sound Driver. I get similar drivers and module name problems when I use USB devices. In one case, I get the manufacturer's chip set model number instead of a microphone name. Try resetting Audacity Preferences to 44100, 16-bit (not 32) Stereo. Then close Audacity, p...

Do you stop your computer each night and start it in the morning? I can't remember when the last time I restarted my computers, I just put them to sleep when I'm not using them. Shut down Audacity and your computer. Unplug USB sound devices (leave your keyboard and mouse) Count to ten and start it a...
