Noise Reduction only works well during human speech if you surgically turn it off during actual words. If you don't do that, human speech turns into underwater aliens. You can set it to try by reducing smoothing and attack to zero. Then it will try to reduce vocal noise. I know you're asking yoursel...

Audacity has both displays -- or access to both, but I can't find them right away. I'm hearing someone looking for the holy grail of being able to separate musical instruments from a mix based on pitch, frequency density, or something similar. All musical instruments, voice included, tend to include...

One is not naturally louder than the other. You can't take a show apart after it has been mixed. Once yo...

why is it still available? There are a number of features of Audacity that have their roots in Advanced Computer Technology with no view to the user experience. The reason 1.2 is still available is that there is no 2.0. Do you feel yourself slipping into the rabbit hole? At one point, the cat disap...

Any chance of running an (un-delete) program on the chip? Do you understand that when you "delete" something, it doesn't actually attack the data (unless you take extraordinary measures). It just scrambles the "table of contents" and leaves the "book" alone. It also mar...
