Re: Skype interview editing - please help!

1. That echo is quite distracting. What can i do to fix this? You're the interviewer, right? I think you're stuck. There's no easy, clean way to record chat (Skype, Zoom) interviews. It helps a lot if you're both on headphones and not going hands-free like your guest is. The desperation repair meth...

Re: ACX plug in for Audacity

Both ACX Check and RMS Normalize (get both) are Nyquist type plugins. I'm not a Windows elf, so this is the instructions for installing plugins to Windows. https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_effect_generator_and_analyzer_plug_ins_on_windows.html#nyquist_install Audiobooks requests a 1-3 ...

Re: Another option for amplification?

Noise Reduction has another odd problem. You have to tell it what the noise is. There has to be some portion of the show where everybody shuts up long enough for there to be pure background and nothing else. The first step in Noise Reduction is where you carefully select that clean noise and Effect ...

Re: Creating Silent MP3 of Exactly 5 Seconds

It's weirder than that. MP3's full family name is MPEG-1 Layer 3. It's part of a video format. It didn't have to worry about timing. It could always just lean on the video frames.

Re: Trouble downloading ACX Check

High Sierra is 10.13.

If you're reading for audiobooks, there's another handy download called RMS Normalize.

Scan down.

Another note. ACX Check shows up under Analyze, not Effect.

Re: Another option for amplification?

would like to know the most widely used and method of choice. Depends on the noise. There is no button push that gets rid of "everything I don't want." What's the job? Your question has the feel of having a particular job fail and you extrapolated it to "what's the best tool in the w...

Re: Can hear other person in recorded audio when recording Skype call

Are you recording from the Yeti? I don't know what the Yeti "looks like" in the Audacity selector window, but it might be something like "USB Sound Device." It doesn't have to say "Yeti." This Shure microphone preamp actually has a USB name. Many don't. Screen Shot 2020...
