Audacity 1.3.5 has a tool called Effect > Truncate Silence. You get to pick how long and how silent before the tool kicks in. It's not available in Audacity 1.2. Before you do this, I would probably run Normalize > Remove DC Offset... on your show. Nothing like doing extensive automatic effects and ...

A few notes: USB "digital" microphones have some serous limitations for production. One big one is you can never get very far away from the mixer or computer. Have you ever seen a USB cable longer than about five feet? There's a reason for that. They fail longer than that. You would need t...

You can do it very simply in Audacity. Open the work in Audacity. Put a Label (Apple-B or Control-B) at the top of the piece, at the beginning of cut 2 and the beginning of cut 3. File-> Export Multiple > MP3. Audacity will export the work in whatever MP3 compression you picked in the 1.2 Preference...

Noise Removal is a juggling act between all the remove settings and odd things happen if any one of the three are too high or too low. That and all these tools are a complete slave to your profile. Make sure your sample sound or profile in step one has only the interfering sound and none of the perf...

We appear to have resolved the problem. The MP3 files were good in every way but one. They were made from original production files created in 32-bit floating. I reproduced the provided sample in 16-bit and it seems to be succeeding with the clients.

Final acceptance isn't in yet.

Got got me there. How did you get the "distortion" waveform? Just subtracting before and after won't necessarily give you that.......unless you're really looking at the difference in the sample points. That would give you a comb like that. That's also misleading because the audible distort...

You change the characteristics of a song by selecting it and Effect > Change > Pitch/Speed/Tempo. You get the BPM with a fashionable, colorful Swatch® with sweep second hand and a minute of your life. The other possibility is Google your brains out for the INFO on the original song, and hope to good...

Known issue. Your preferences file got damaged. Close Audacity. Search the computer for audacity.cfg. When you find it, drag it to the trash. This effectively reinstalls Audacity with all the keyboard shortcut damage missing (hopefully). It also destroys all your preferences, so you need to go in ag...

Here it is...

Somebody Google the effect. I've never heard of it. Point us to a sound track with the effect? iTunes references work. You mean like the Peter Frampton effect in that Geico commercial? Unfortunately, the guy who posted it on YouTube pulled it down. That's a vocoder and I think there's a whole thread...
