Old fashioned VU meters were a lot better at this than digital peak meters. That's why VU meters hung around in hearing tests and research for years. They would tell you approximate loudness. Anyway, once your "show" is on the timelilne, Effect > Amplify and you can pick any gain or loss y...

There is a dramatic jump in cost when you buy telephone equipment that can split up the conversation like in a call-in talk show. Those machines cost multiple hundreds of dollars. However, if you use Skype or one of the on-line phone services, there are software packages that can record you on the l...

The quality of the microphone may give you bad quality sound (harsh or maybe muffled). Or maybe a little noise when you stop talking. "Hello sssssssss How are you sssss?" Gross drop outs and chattering or bubbling is a computer or data problem. We just get to figure out where. Singing to y...
