OK. I pulled the links down. I don't think it's the quality of the MP3 here. The file sizes are pretty good. However, the original capture is pretty sucky. The music management is off-balance and overloads frequently down the song. The red bars in the picture represent permanently damaged music, eve...

I think there should be an inspection of your hard drive. Audio production fills up your drive in a hurry. Once the room on the drive shrinks to a certain amount, there isn't enough to run Audacity or Windows. -- Defrag -- Right Click Start > Explore > Right Click Local Drive C: > Properties (Used, ...

explain as if i was 5 "One of these files is not like the others...." Sorry. One of the reasons you don't want to use MP3 as production masters is permanent damage. MP3 gets its amazingly small files and efficient downloads by changing the sound around so it's easy to compress. If you get...

The process of recording "Internet Audio" involves running both the record and playback sides of the computer at the same time. You're stuck with both volume controls in the circuit. I use a separate external amplifier with volume control and speakers. You can use headphones with built-in ...

Effects > Vocal Removal It rarely works perfectly because anybody who puts special effects or echo into their voices messes it up. You need to start with a really high quality stereo show. Also, you're left with a mono show, not stereo when you get done. Koz --Voice Trap http://www.cloneensemble.com...
