You might consider forcing Windows to show you the full filename. Windows likes to hide filename extensions based on their being "confusing." The full filename for MyMusic is really MyMusic.mp3 which is a dead giveaway what kind of file it is. This naming structure dates back to the Paleol...

All you can do it make it less awful. You may have already hit the usual tools. You can't get rid of echoes and audience noises, so they're fixed. Many times the echoes are what's making the performance seem muffled. No doubt you already found that boosting the right side of the equalizer also makes...

You have to get rid of the honky microphone around 700Hz and then push the overall response flatter with more energy at 3000. I did it two steps so it's more obvious what I did. The first step reduces the overall level to trash, so I boosted it back up before I applied the second which makes the res...

You shouldn't be. The project should have saved everything on your screen, tracks, blue waves, clips and all.

Try this. It's a little better -- particularly if you have some inkling what the words are ahead of time. I did Effect > Equalization, Effect > Amplify, Effect > Equalization. Two passes through the equalizer tool with an amplification correction in the middle. There's probably a way to send you the...

That's the one.

Actually, you probably have that "universal" connector that does both. In that case you need to go into Desktop > Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound and somewhere in there, you will have a selector whether you want it to be Headphones or Line-In (or some Apple-ese that means the...
