Re: Removing Individual Voices

<<<If you can't post details on here for whatever reason>>> No, and the reason is they're trade secrets. People get multiple hundreds to multiple thousands of dollars for machines that can do this. We have six of these things as part of much larger videoconferenceing systems... http://www.lifesize.c...

Re: How To Record LP's

When you get to the end of side 1, press pause. Flip the record and press pause again to resume recording. Audacity will not save a sound file nor will it burn a CD, so when you get to the end of side two, Stop and export as WAV. That sound file should drop right into iTunes. Make an iTunes Playlist...

Re: Removing Individual Voices

I wish I could give you a magic tool, but you have one of the terrible editing jobs. There's no way to technically recognize one voice over others in a mix. Human voices have remarkably similar electronic signatures. And similar to musical instruments, too. No shortage of postings trying to remove i...

Re: Removing Individual Voices

The universal rule on editing and post production is that, on average, leave ten times the length of the expected show. So to produce effects on a 60 minute show is effectively going to take all day -- 6-8 hours. If you know you have impossible edits, it's much longer. Producers have been trying to ...

Re: How can i normalize to nearly 0dB?

<<<i want my waveform nearly to the 0dB, not exactly but nearly. >>> What's the goal? Most people who post questions like this are really after performance volume changes or some other definite final performance in mind. Straight volume changes are usually done with the Amplify tool and both that an...

Re: Headset Died

<<<It is kind of spooky, isn't it?>>> Not at all. The computer can't "tell" what's going on because the drivers for your Edirol AudioCapture aren't up to the job. Download new drivers if possible. If you were on a laptop and plugged your headphones into the headphone jack, the computer wou...

Re: Help Cleaning Up Recording of Choir

The equalizer tool can help. Launch the tool and the blue line in the middle is a rubber band. Move up to get louder frequencies (read from the bottom) and down to suppress them. Here's a filter I made to suppress room rumble in a recording. Each of those little points on the curve were placed by ha...

Re: WAV files, Metatags, versus Windows Media Player

I can't be completely defninitive because I left my machine home by accident, but are we all struggling to make free iTunes for Windows? Built-in burning and authoring, format conversion, easily sync your iPod/iPad, etc. This is where I get fuzzy. You can manage your music by any of hundreds of diff...

Re: Headset Died

That's a little odd. The sound normally switches automatically from speakers to headphones when you plug the headphones in. It's not a software kind of thing -- unless the speakers or headphones are a little wacky. I couldn't follow all of that post. What kind of speakers and exactly how are they co...
