It is terrifically difficult to remove white or pink noise from a human voice without making the performance sound like it's underwater or gargling. This effect is much worse in Audacity 1.2 because 1.2 had terrible effect controls. Much better in 1.3 To give you an idea of the problem, suppose the ...

I think I know what happened, but I can't reproduce the problem--at least not on the Mac version. If you set up Audacity Preferences for Mono, what's supposed to happen is the program selects the "Left" of a stereo show and records that as a mono track. That happens to be the same physical...

Most of the Audacity production tools only work after you select some audio. Either click and drag, or Edit > Select > All.

This message isn't going to Blue Cat because....? I've never seen this software before. It seems like a nice package and it also seems like it would come with a nice instruction book or file or PDF or something. Did you get a good deal? On-line from the web site, or did you find a secondary supplier...

When you edit in Audacity, everything has to line up. If your project is set for MP3 and you're editing, say, 3:1 compressed MP3s and then you try to paste an uncompressed WAV clip into the show, it may run at 1/3 speed.

I'd have to tear down the existing install, save all the install images and put it all back together again. Mine is having troubles with USB audio (imagine my surprise) and the upgrade might be ...

This is also why they still kill actors by asking them to provide the voice for animated characters. To do that, the actor has to sit in a dark room for three weeks with nobody else around and speak the dialog into a microphone wind screen and hope to goodness it fits with all the rest of the dialog...

I believe both platforms (Mac/PC) have screen capture programs that can turn anything that appears on the screen into a local video. Sound is relatively easy by manipulating the sound control panel to record Mix Out. On the Mac, it's Snaps Pro. Launch it and tell it where on the screen you want to c...

<<<just music was fine,>>> "Just Music?" From where? Were you performing live music to a microphone? I also can't see any time where you would be looking for a music clip while you're recording something else--unless you're creating a training segment on how to find music clips. I can see ...
