Audacity Forum

stripped the video off and only converted the audio. Audacity is not a video editor and you need a video editor to put the new sound back in. Since you're doing video, it's handy to do all your work in the video sample rate of 48000 (lower left) and not 44100. Set that forever in Audacity Preferenc...

How did you do the interview?

Really bad matching can be somebody trying to record a Chat, Conference or Skype. Those are super difficult to get right because the app software is fighting you every step of the way.

I'm writing this as I think of things. I've seen sound sync done where the guide track is you saying , "One, Two, Three, Four, Clap." and the performer either says that in time to your voice, or actually claps at the right time. Again, you should only need the end clap once, to find out ho...

Pop back in and tell us how you did it and how it went. This is a forum, not a help desk. Users helping each other. Your report is a Big Deal. Also note that everybody is expecting the internet service to lag a bit as everybody with a pulse suddenly tries to work from home. All the shortcuts that in...

That's so she can listen to herself with the free ear. They shoveled all the finished sound tracks to Josh for mixing. ...

The first three segments of that sound file, Left, Right, and Mono might sound more or less OK on a mono system, but the fourth segment, Out Of Phase, is intentionally damaged. It will vanish or become significantly distorted on a mono system. That's the "Busted" moment. On a proper stereo...

So you'll notify them what happened, right? That the performance is basically trash? I'm going with off-band myself (given the batteries were OK). That's not interference in the sense of computer fan noise or refrigerator compressor getting into the show. Those are a piffle compared to this. The cha...

Now with the latest Audacity and Sierra Depending on how new the machine is, it may not have a stereo line-in any more like the older ones did. Do you have one of these? The headphone is Stereo Line Out and the circle with black arrows is Stereo Line-In. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MacL...
