By the way, you're speaking the advertising words of CBS Laboratories, the designer of the Audimax and Volumax FM Radio compressors. They reigned broadcasting for years. The Audimax was the slow, sloppy overall volume setter and the Volumax (or Volume-Ax in local speak) would come up behind it and s...

The reason we all like Chris's Compressor so much is that it increases the low passages of the show and suppresses the loudest ones automatically without seeming to do anything. It's directly comparable to the "invisible" volume compression that an FM radio station does. I don't have it ar...

The short answer is to put each song on its own timeline one above the other (File > Import), and use a combination of Time Shift Tool (two sideways arrows) and Envelope Tool (two white arrows and bent blue line) to position each song in time and fade it in and out. After getting everything right, S...

I had another idea. Select a very small part of the actual voice as the Profile in the Noise Reduction Tool. Then apply the tool with various settings and see what happens. This only works in Audacity 1.3.12. There's the usual ring modulator and voice keyers, too. http://www.splendad.com/ads/show/17...

It's rougher to do than you think. Do you have a target or an idea of what you want it to sound like? Working open ended is more difficult than the other requests we get for changing man into announcer, man into woman, woman into child, etc. etc. I've never tried this, but take your voice and pitch ...

This can happen when you have two different audio standard music files. Audacity is a terrible converter. This effect is usually done by having two sound tracks one above the other. You put your voice on one and the music on the other. If you do nothing else but press play, both should sound at once...

You generally don't want Stereo Mix selected. That's the module that lets you record internet audio. It runs the record and playback sides of the computer at the same time and can cause some interesting problems for plain recordings. Reset Audacity preferences to 44100, 16-bit, Stereo. Restart Audac...

You can answer #1 yourself with a simple Touch Test. Unplug the RCA cables from your cassette machine and, while recording, touch one and then the other like this... http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/touch.jpg You are intentionally creating noise for the purpose of testing.
