Re: Help me with making a FM-AM RADIO talk simulation sound

Yes. We need a good listen to the voice track before you messed with it.

Re: meters don't show clipping

The Griffin iMic does not generate soft, fizzy-warm thoughts. Mine is in a dusty box in the garage. It distorts often and even though it has a switch on it, doesn't do either stereo line level or microphone level particularly well. Its crowning achievement is the ability to impress computer noises o...

Re: Clipping when recording from SPDIF input

You can mess with digital audio way more than you think. Our commercial DAT machine, the two DigiBeta machines and the HiDef SRW deck all have the ability to move the signal levels around -- although we generally don't. It's not that hard. Multiply or divide all the sound values by some value contro...

Re: Filtering out noises

If you had a single microphone for the interview or were using the microphone built into the laptop, then the show is probably toast. The noise elimination software only works with steady noises like an air conditioner whine or hum. There is software that can isolate voices from musical instruments ...

Re: meters don't show clipping

Without reading the whole thread again, the Stereo Line-In of a MacBook Pro (and the PowerBook before it) is good enough on its own that I use it to capture feature-film quality voice tracks. It's entirely possible you "upgraded" from the Mac electronics to a cheap USB device that can't ha...

Re: meters don't show clipping

There is one oddity in the analog to digital conversion. The digital converter electronics has to run out of poop before the analog does. "Overload" is defined as the digital converter running out of digital information because the sound got too loud. That produces distortion in the digita...

Re: meters don't show clipping

<<<I'm using a MacBook with OS X Version 10.5.8.>>> Ding! There's one problem. Modern Macs do not support Audacity 1.2. If you get Audacity to open at all (mine doesn't) sooner or later it's going to do something naughty -- sometimes killing your show. http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_mac You s...

Re: Tracks doubling problem...

I know in a general sense what's happening. You are not recording your performance. You're recording Mix-Out, Stereo-Mix, or What-U-Hear which is everything the computer happens to be doing at that instant, either direction. This is the setting you need to use to record internet audio or YouTube, bu...
