Re: RMS Levels too low for Audacity

"linked stereo option"
If you have a mono performance, one blue wave, none of those settings do anything.

Re: RMS Levels too low for Audacity

Drag-select a ten second portion of the raw show and File > Export > Export Selected ... > WAV. Scroll down from a forum text window > Attachments > Add Files . Try to pick a portion with a little natural silence in it, not just you constantly talking. It's possible to fake out ACX Check and we need...

Re: ACX Check fails in 2.4.1

Which result do you want to see as the result? -64, -58 or -65? As a performer eager to close on that beach house, I'd like to publish the -65 value and go make coffee. I think what's bothering me is theatrical variables and accidents. It is possible to get a theatrical presentation with breathing ...

Re: How to remove regular interval spikes?

I tried some of that, but basically guessed at it using the telephone as a model.

Re: Audacity Stops Recording

There's one other. Are you using Google Drive or other cloud storage? Audacity doesn't like that very much because of the internet delays and erratic nature. The suppliers want you to think that doesn't exist, but it does and it causes connectivity issues much like having a ratty USB connection. koz

Re: Audacity Stops Recording

How are you getting the sound into the computer? if you are using a USB interface or a USB tape player, those can create problems if there's anything wrong with the USB connection. If the USB data drops even for a second, Audacity may "forget" the player is there and stop recording. There ...

Re: I recorded my voice in different WAV files but they sound different

https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=72887 But I think I can make a good guess without that. Two problems. It's really difficult to go back and read something with the same tonal inflection, metre, emphasis and speed. That's why we think it's a good idea when you're reading a long...

Re: ACX Check fails in 2.4.1

Can we assume there's no way this is ever going to see the room tone at the beginning and end of an audiobook chapter? I'm still trying to wrap my head around what's actually going to show up in this analysis. I don't trust my not being able to do that. Select the highest of the .01 samples over .1 ...

Re: Audacity Stops Recording

If you have Sound Activated Recording checked, Audacity will stop working if the sound drops below a certain volume.

Transport > Transport Options > Sound Activated Recording.

Re: "Can't find project data folder"???

The titles of the works in the first two pictures don't match the titles in the third. The filenames have to be the same, and they have to be the name you gave them inside Audacity. No option. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg Open up the AUP file in a text editor (...
