Re: "Unofficial", seemingly arbitrary clipping occurring

Did you turn off all the Windows Enhancements? This poster was transferring tapes, but he's having similar problems. Step one might be making sure all the sound processing and tools in the Windows machine are turned off. Windows comes out of the shrink wrap all set for business conferencing and comm...

Any word on background music and effects? It doesn't matter how well you act, a scene sounds like bread and water without the background.

Re: Dangit! Running ACX check ruins my Noise Floor!

Thank you for all that. Prizes awarded if you can make it through the whole sentence without taking a breath <g>. This one's a puzzler. I can't find anything broken...but it doesn't work. Yes, there's too much noise in the presentation, but there's nothing special about the noise. It's plain, ordina...

Re: Dangit! Running ACX check ruins my Noise Floor!

(now called macro) Do you remember where you got the Macro from? If you're still set up, can you record a sound test? We can't tell enough from a finished and mastered failure to know what's happening. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/TestClip/Record_A_Clip.html Other than cutting it to length, ...

Re: Tracks don't line up properly

You don't have to do it this way. You can use the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows) to push your new track in line with the others. Remember to switch back to the normal cursor ("I" Beam) before you try to do anything else.

Re: Tracks don't line up properly

Overdubbing requires your machine to set up real time recording and real time playback perfectly and at the exact same time. If your machine does anything wrong at all, this is going to fall apart. Most notably, the chat programs, Skype, Zoom, etc, are also struggling for majority control of your so...

Re: Can I get a quick tutorial on making presentable speech?

The struggle you're going to have is with the effects and filters. Most of them are designed to apply delicate, barely noticeable corrections and then vanish into the night. Pretty much the exact opposite of what you need.
