Accuracy in posting is good, too. Siemens makes perfectly good medical X-Ray machines, but Razer Seirēn X is a nice microphone. You should have the cardioid pattern selected (upside down heart shape) and you should have the company snake logo facing away from you. This is the only microphone I've ev...

You can set this yourself. Audacity has tools to help you set voice volume. The first file in this series was TEST CLIP and it has blue waves that look like this. That's after you get through announcing the sample and press stop. Screen Shot 2020-03-02 at 16.26.19.png It's supposed to look more like...

Another possibility. Right+Click or Control+Click on the sound file > Open With > QuickTime Player.

yes the file is saved and named. but no, i can't currently access it on my phone. I meant saved and named on your phone .

That one works by refusing to stretch past a certain point P-Popps have long wind excursions. There's a second version with rigid screening and carefully tuned holes. https://www.kozco.com...

it crashes (shuts down) each time I record for only a minor two Which "it"? The computer or Audacity? How did you get Win7 on a new machine? Do you still have your original install disks? If you intend on producing theater work on your machine, it should have its memory maxed out. People ...

You may be a candidate for Microphone Management. Place the active grill of the microphone even with your noise or higher. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/lin-manuelMicrophone.jpg https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/ThankYouForUsingATT.jpg If that's still not enough, try oblique placemen...
