Re: Simple voice recording - buzz

Nobody's surprised about Audacity 1.2 noise reduction not working. It didn't work when it was new. You can't see it, but we're giving each other quizzical looks across the time zones. You are set up for one of the jobs Windows was intended to do. Further, USB microphones tend to be free of all the h...

Re: Non-destructive editing

And we warn people that Audacity Projects do not save UNDO, and yes, I believe that's how the other production elves do it. Save projects under different names as you go. My take on live recording is a little more severe. Capture a live performance, export as WAV, make a copy of the WAV on separate ...

Re: Waveform question

So you have strike one and two before you even left home. Production in MP3 format is ripe for errors because Audacity doesn't edit MP3. It converts MP3 to an internal format and then makes a new MP3 when you're done. The show picks up damage -- sometimes significant damage -- each step. Do your wor...

Re: Unable to Record

I can feel the coordination drifting off. Does your mixer look exactly like this?

<<<the last step is to compress it and give it the oomf and power it needs.>>> Have you messed around with Chris's Compressor? Chris's Compressor http://pdf23ds.net/software/dynamic-compressor/ If you're hand-tuning the Audacity compressors note by note, this may be a revelation to you. Koz

Re: Where do temporary files get saved?

Re: Recording from multiple USB mics

You may be stuck with what you have. I posted looking for a single sentence: "Buy this product and record 8 (more or less) channels" and that product doesn't seem to exist. We know the conditions for causing that product to exist in the future, but there is no model number, product code or...
