Re: Clipping or Distortion on Vocal High Notes of Ripped Aud

In the posted sample there is a very high frequency whistle at about 15800 Hz I was hoping for something further up. Like beyond 17.8KHz. Beyond that, the player has to guess at the data since 44100 is indeterminate up there, but video services is not. There definitely seems to be some distortion o...

Re: Clipping or Distortion on Vocal High Notes of Ripped Aud

I'm suggesting that 15000 filter as a guess that there may be some sound so high pitched that humans can't hear it, but that drive your car crazy. It's remotely possible to get damage like that when transfering between video and audio standards which are slightly different. This filter will remove t...

Re: Creating a backing track with Audacity

I know there is a way to remove vocals with Audacity. There are vocal removal tools that rarely work as well as people want. There is an enormous list of music shortcomings that kill these tools. I'm surprised that you got the process to work with an MP3 file. Typically, MP3 compression artifacts a...

When you take a breath, are the blue waves centered around the 0.0 point (measured on the left)?

Re: Clipping or Distortion on Vocal High Notes of Ripped Aud

Free Association... Sometimes we can solve these things by making them worse. Either direction, better or worse works. I would die to get my hands on one of those DVDs.... I wonder if there is something other than volume messing up.... Do a test. Find one of your sample performances with significant...

Re: Clipping or Distortion on Vocal High Notes of Ripped Aud

I played your Battle last evening and found that it sounded wonderful on my car stereo. That's not good news. That means your performances may not sound any better just by lowering the volume slightly. I was so hoping Kathleen was going to sound terrible and that would give us a very clear pathway ...

Re: FM Stereo "noise" and its removal

Noise Profile.wav. I know what that is. That's my neighbor's million-year old refrigerator. Back when my off-air tuner was dying, I could tell precisely when his chiller pump went on. I actually walked around the neighborhood with a portable radio and did signal strength analysis on a map. It center...
