Re: Spinning beach ball

So roughly 20% of the drive is free. That's good. You usually can't paste directly on the forum. Attachments (under a forum text window) > Add Files > Select the file. You don't have to post anything. You're looking for something getting stuck at an unreasonably high usage. It doesn't have to be Aud...

I guess he deletes it then.
That may be worth an email.

Who's keeping the archives?

Did you find out where in the editor it allows you to manage the sound?

Re: How easy is Audacity?

There is a caution here. Know how much storage there is on the phone and how much you have left. Nothing like getting half-way through the show and the camera beeps MEMORY FULL. Also charge fully and turn the sounder off.

YOUR MUM LEFT YOU A TEXT.

Re: How easy is Audacity?

what's a sound pathway? Dress rehearsal. Start with someone's lips and voice and check the whole thing beginning to end before you commit a show to it. In my particular case I got a perfect and correct sound file stuck on my device and it took extraordinary measures to move it into Audacity. Of all...

Re: ACX-Check Crashes Audacity

I split your posting off from the others. If you piggyback onto the end of a long, foreign posting, you get lost. Audacity vanishes, or it freezes? Do you use any on-line storage? Google G-Drive or anything like that? How long was the show? Do you have either WAV or Lossless Project backups? When wa...

Re: How to record both incoming and outgoing sound in video-conferencing?

We used to do this with a separate computer that would join the conference with no microphone. Then record the speaker feed. That will have everybody on it. I don't know a reliable way to get one computer to do a total recording and participate at the same time. There may be a way to force the sound...

Re: How easy is Audacity?

One serious note: Use a sound pathway beginning to end as a test before you commit to a show.

Re: How easy is Audacity?

The sound people are fond of reminding everyone that sound without the picture is a radio production. Picture without the sound is a rehearsal.

Re: How easy is Audacity?

There's all sorts of tricks here. You can make the phone slightly more obvious and more impervious to table noises with the book and towel trick. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MicBookTowel-500t.jpg It doesn't have to be that big and heavy. You can use a paperback book and a washcloth. Tape...

Re: How easy is Audacity?

For example: iPodMicrophone3.jpg Other phones and recorders may differ. I only picked a phone because someone is likely to have one or have access to one.
