Re: New to podcasting - need a mixer?

It's too late, right? You already have the microphones picked out? Again, in my opinion, you would be way better off putting first level soundproofing in so it doesn't sound like you're recording in a kitchen or bathroom (even if you are actually recording in a kitchen or bathroom). And I don't mean...

Re: New to podcasting - need a mixer?

In my opinion you're going in the wrong direction. For every one or two people that have trouble with individual performer recording, there are massive forum pages of people having computer recording troubles. What is the goal? It's probably to produce a podcast quickly and easily with no extended e...

Re: Noise floor pass/fail/pass/pass

Scene shifts to: I have a job coming up where I have to cover up gasps and mouth ticks. How did you find each sound and where did you get your Room Tone from? Note this little dance only works if your Room Tone never changes. If you're struggling with refrigerator noises, traffic noises or other per...

Re: two of the exact same mics

I plugged them both in
How? Did you go through a USB hub or other interface? This Air has two different USB connections, and the Mini has many, but many machines don't any more.

Re: Noise floor pass/fail/pass/pass

I don't remember which sample I sent them which is really bad cause now I can't compare for improvements. That's a full stop right there. Most of editorial is pure bookkeeping. If you can't keep your work straight, production will be a very painful experience. Please note we are now guessing what t...

Re: two of the exact same mics

You missed a diagnostic step. Do they both work one at a time without all the aggregate hoo-hah? I expect the Behringer stuff to work right out of the box, but it's nice to cover that step.

Re: Sample WAV for ACX - Produce a Simple Audacity Forum Voice Test

Doesn't it contain more information than a rendered WAV? It does, but it's also more brittle. Scan the forum for people having a WAV file fail versus people having trouble opening a Project. Also, people think they're saving an AUP sound file. Nobody understands the complex interaction between the ...

Re: project and file naming conventions

I use a top-level folder for each podcast which has a common assets folder for things like images, intro, incidental and outro music clips etc. Beneath this folder I have individual episode folders (Episode 0 is a general introductory thing) which are seperate Audacity projects. What he said. That'...

MyGreatAudioProduction-RawReading20200215.wav That's the formal version. The day-to-day version may look a little more like: Winter-Raw20220216.wav It's the winter show and between "Raw" and the .wav extension, I know that's the perfect quality protection WAV sound file I exported after s...

Re: ZOOM recording Mp4 file

I converted file from Mp4 to wav Maybe M4A rather than MP4? Do you have Windows set to show you filename extensions? How did you do that conversion? If you install the FFMpeg software, I believe Audacity will do the conversion by itself. Windows closes the Audacity while in progress a few moments l...
