Yeeeees...... [he said with rising inflection]. You can launch Audacity and then click once inside the red record meters and they will wake up and meter what they perceive to be the incoming show. It's a diagnostic mode and you don't have to actually record anything to get it. The ballistics are pea...

I use 0.77 instead of 0.5 because I posted once asking for a compression setting that most closely approximated the live program service of the local NPR radio station KPCC Pasadena. I had two segments of the same show with and without radio transmitter compression applied. That was the result. 0.5 ...

Can you post the cough and one or two minutes on both sides of it? As high a quality as you can. Don't bother sending MP3.

The AUP project manager file keeps detailed records of where everything is -- all its operating files and folders and all its sound clips and their names and locations. Say you went from a computer with one intern...
