Re: Help with post production effects? - example attached.

i'll just be happy with a clean sound that's audiable and that people won't switch off :/ Good choice. Most P-Popping and mouth errors go in front of your lips or downward, so if you can put the microphone in front or slightly high, you can avoid most of them. Note many home microphones come with l...

Re: Bit-for-bit exporting of AIFFs

Not an easy answer. Audacity doesn't edit 16-bit. It converts everything to 32-bit floating to reduce the possibility that effects and filters will damage the sound. Then it has to convert the work back to 16-bit for Real World. In order to disguise conversion errors, it adds a dither signal to the ...

Re: Basic recording help!!!

I don't think you should be worried about Audacity right this second. The instructions are pretty clear you should be able to listen to your instrument on the headphones plugged into the GX.

Re: EQ question

Let's take this another way. This is the analysis of one single piano note, "G" somewhere on the left. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PianoG1Spectrum-650.jpg Pitch increases from left to the right. See 400Hz? 440Hz is that single oboe note when the orchestra is warming up. Earthqu...

Re: Basic recording help!!!

Your headphones are plugged into the GX, right? Can you hear yourself? The manual says the GX us supposed to mix the computer sound with your live performance. Step one make sure the GX is alive. Step two hear yourself. I can't get the manual to tell me if there's a light on the GX to signify that t...

Re: Basic recording help!!!

not on this computer. So it's a new computer to this production? How did you get a new computer to run Mojave? The speaker window should say GX, not Bose. You can't listen to the computer (Audacity) during overdubbing or multi-track. The computer connection will always give you delays or echoes. Au...

Re: Tracks out of sync

You didn't set recording latency. Playback and recording all take time and when you overdub, the two times add up since you're doing both at once. Audacity has a process to automatically subtract all those error times if you tell it what they are. The easiest way is to record a test where you record...

Re: EQ question

Many people record the target piano and plug the recordings into the synth. There's even a way to cheat by using a real piano every so many notes and use pitch shifting to get the others. You can tell when Promotion and Publicity had a hand in it because the notes at the extremes start sounding funn...

Re: Hi and Low Pass Filters to reach ACX -60dB level

several more ACX auditions
Were they failures? What was the failure? Post the ACX response.

Make a forum test. If you're doing something obvious wrong we may be able to correct it.

Re: Scarlett Solo hangs Mac OS X 15.3 Audacity 2.3.2

What's the job? Recording a Podcast? Audiobook? the system hangs. The System hangs, or Audacity hangs? Does the Sampson still work? Does a second recording work without the Punch and Roll? Make a recording, stop, and make another recording. You should either get a second track under the first one or...
