You might have miswired wall sockets. Older electronics by-passed the metal chassis to one side of the power line. I have an FM tuner which will not work plugged in "upside down." It's a two-prong plug. If the larger of the two prongs (in the US) isn't ground, then you will have hum whethe...

There are several methods of burning a blank CD and Music CD is only one. Many software products default to Data CD which may not play, for example, in your car. Look for "Music CD" settings in your burning program. Music CDs can have a number of special options missing from the other form...

"Band in a Box" turns out to be a software program and according to Google, it's still current. The question is does your license run on Vista? Many software programs didn't survive the transition well. The type of sound card -- assuming your Band license supports it -- depends on what you...

If Simple Export starts working, then you should close the Project and reopen it in Audacity 1.3.12. htt...

<<<best presentation is *fast* -- faster than the usual slooow boring one without all the er umms anduhs etc>>> Yes, speed is important. Some of that conference effect is from speakers who work in a dark cave every day suddenly being called on to address 500 people. Lots of "umms" and gett...

So that's what happens when you push the pitch down. It's generally accepted you can only do that just so much before the performance starts sounding weird. I still think you can do with what you have with voice coaching. In both samples, you sound exactly like you're reading from a script with flat...

You would think anechoic chambers would make terrific recording studios, but they don't. One of the producers had a chamber as part of a building he bought while he was on the east coast (of the US). They had to put plywood sheets back in to avoid that sucking your brain out of your ears effect. The...

I probably didn't say so, but when you post a sample, it's best if it's a Clean sample. No effects or filters. Straight voice. When you post a processed sample we have no idea what you really sound like and further, we can't apply filters without bumping into the ones you already applied -- and we c...
