Re: Editing clips of audiobook

There isn't anything different from the time I originally record, to the time I re-record spots. How much time? It's a bad idea to go back after lunch or the next day and try to fix all the flubs and mistakes. In general, if you make a mistake, make some sound cue so you can find it again later (so...

Re: help on using for Sierra 10.2.6 going nuts

Sierra is 10.12. If you double click the .dmg file, you should get an installer graphic. Screen Shot 2020-04-08 at 09.00.37.png That's not just a pretty picture. That's the actual installer program. Click on the Audacity picture and drag it to the Applications picture. Post back if that doesn't work...

Re: Delay on voice in headphones when recording

You can't listen to the computer when you're recording. That pathway will always have a transit delay when the sound goes into Audacity turns around and then comes back out again. Yes, it can be pretty serious. You can listen to your sound mixer or the microphone itself if it has provision to do thi...

Re: Audacity crashes when I boot up a game

when I try to boot a PC game it causes audacity to instantly crash So it's a video conflict. The game initializes the video service and the next time Audacity tries to step on it, it's not there. Can you start the game and then launch Audacity? Another possibility is the game launches in screen pag...

Re: My friend's recording is different length to mine

We press record at the same time How do you do that? Countdown? " And one and two and three PRESS. " There's tricks to that, too. Start the show and you count down and they temporarily hold their headphones against their microphone. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/GTrackEarBuds.jp...

Re: My friend's recording is different length to mine

The machines are used for other jobs between shows, right? My first guess is his machine is busy doing other things in the gaps. It's probably a bad idea to leave a browser or other internet programs running during the recording. You might try restarting each machine just before the show recording s...

Re: How to mix multiple mono tracks into one mono track?

Right. An orphan Left track is an odd condition. There's nowhere useful to go with that, and I suspect that's why there are no handy tools to fix it. Don't forget to select that mix track and File > Export > Export Selected Audio . If you don't do that, Export will try to mix everything on the scree...

Re: How to mix multiple mono tracks into one mono track?

See that top track over on the info panel isn't Mono. It's Left. So you're really mixing two different identities of track and the system has no other alternative but to make stereo. So. When you fix that, you can Tracks > Mix > Mix and Render to a New Track . this will leave all the tracks alone bu...

Re: ACX RMS level

There. You have your own topic. Did you submit to ACX and what did they say? We can guess what ACX is doing and we get close, but there's nothing quite like quoting the actual inspector when they post back. fix a previously recorded, very short audiobook Those sounds in the background are the alarm ...
