Re: Recording levels jumping (especially on my end of phone recording)

There was another forum poster who insisted it was possible to do everything on one machine. He was having routing and volume troubles, too. I told him to post back if he got something to work reliably. We haven't heard back..

Re: Recording levels jumping (especially on my end of phone recording)

I'm not sure what you mean by 'where is the recorder?' other than in Audacity... As a fuzzy rule, you can't record the show on the same device or recorder that's doing the performance. Just getting two voices to go back and forth over an internet link without echo, noise and distortion is a feat of...

I like some Sennheiser models. So do I. I don't think the sennheiser eh-150 is made any more. There are mechanical restrictions. They should fit over the ear with a good pillow fit to keep sound from leaking out. They need to be closed back. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/DavidGreene_RE-20...

Re: Crackling sound when recording from ZOOM H4N

The reason for using stand-alone recorders such as the Zoom (I have two, now) is so you can stop recording on the computer. Note way at the top of this thread, recordings work perfectly stand-alone. When I record with the zoom and transfer files, all is OK. It's when i use it as an audio card that i...

Are you on the correct Audacity download page?

Re: Bit confused about ACX check. It says pass but some don't match up with ACX site requirements

I stopped using "higher" and "lower" in my descriptions in favor of Louder and Quieter.

Re: Comparing Noise Level

You can do that, but you may not want to. Analyze > Contrast > Measure Selection. That's good for RMS (overall loudness). But that will give it to you in dB. Measure both and write down the dB numbers. Subtract the two dB numbers and divide by 20. Then use your scientific calculator and take the ant...
