Re: Two different mono channels in 1 track

First make darn sure you have a good file of your original work. I would probably export as WAV in addition to the Project. Then you can use the tools under the little black arrow on the left. Split Stereo Track > Delete one track. Edit > Duplicate > Make Stereo Track. Export as WAV or save a new, d...

Re: Issues when Palm Muting

<<<Whenever I start palm muting>>>

I'm not a music performer. What's "Palm Muting?" Your complaint reads like the live performance only slows down when you touch your guitar strings in a certain way. Is that what you meant to write?

Re: Changing the length of the Tone Generator

Just a note that if you try to listen to that tone in real life, you will not get a pure tone during start and stop. Any sound during a change is distorted and generates other tones -- if only for a short time. It's the principal of AM radio. As long as you stay strictly in digital which has no real...

Re: Recording an audiobook - getting consistent levels from

<<<my levels from chapter to chapter vary a bit>>> Is this a Windows machine? How did you have the microphone connected and what kind is it? If you notice changes to your ear from one session to another, that's actually a fairly major volume shift. Windows machines like to "help you" and a...

Re: Audio on video clips

<<<I have several video editing programs but most of them either can't equalize the volumn so that all clips are equal or they don't do a very good job.>>> There is an Audacity plugin called Chris's Compressor that does a terrific job of leveling out show sound without seeming to do anything bad.

Re: export wav files

<<<I'm not sure what the program is as I'm in the fortunate position of having full admin rights on my computers.>>>

So you'd be able to go in any time you want and find out.

My mono rejector is an early version of Veritas which used to come with Sony burners.

Re: Channels going in and out

If you play that portion of the song again and again, does the pop happen in the same place -- at the same note?

If you drag-select and magnify (Control-E) the blue waves around the place of the pop, is there is missing piece in the waves?

Overdubbing

I think I've run into this before. Correct me, but there's no formal information on overdubbing -- playing an old track and singing to it.

Re: Audacity and latency

If your sound card has the ability to hardware manage the speaker and audio inputs, then you can set the Windows Control Panels to give you little or no delay. If Windows management or Audacity has to do it in software, then you're going to get delay as the computer thinks about it. There doesn't se...

Re: Empty Void / Endless Abyss (Echo Effect)

We have meeting rooms that can do that...... Try, instead of echoing one single sound track, create a second copy and apply extreme echo to that. Use the envelope tools (two white arrows and bent blue line) to fade back and forth between the clean and echo tracks. That part of the track sounds like ...
