Audacity Forum

What's the tone frequency? This isn't audio any more. You are producing an arithmetic pulse not found in nature which may not survive going through many audio systems. Produce about ten of these "tones" on a timeline and turn loose the Analyze tool with 8192 and Log Frequency. You would th...

<<<Thanks for the help.>>> What there was of it. You hit the trifecta when the show turned out to be in mono. A mono track peels off a number of tools you could have used to help. This is the same problem, by the way, of people who want to remove echoes. Echoes are the actor coming back to the micro...

There are a number odd things here. The iListen headsets I see have USB connectors, not analog which is that plug thing in the picture. We also know that most Macs will not directly manage a microphone. That connector in the back of the iMac has a symbol of a little circle and two black arrows, righ...

Audacity doesn't like AAC or MPEG4. You'll need to convert them to something else before you import.

I get a single mono track with three people in it.

It's pretty much hopeless, even for the higher end sound packages. There's nothing different between all the voices. Worse, the German voice is the louder one.

IMHO you have no show.

And, just when you thought it was safe to go back in the pool... You know there's a trick to generating tone bursts, right? For some complicated math reasons, you can't just start a tone cold on the first cycle and stop it the same way. If you listen carefully, you can get a click on both ends. This...

You found that listening in iTunes gave you the cue tones on both sides? Producing a mono mix, like I think I said before, is hard to do by accident. Nor is iTunes in the habit of greatly modifying the shows presented to it. That's like the artistic performance kiss of death. So Something Happened. ...

<<<WVA=>AAC>>> WVA? Windows....... Oh, WAV before your coffee. Most compressors work much better when they start with perfect originals. If you present them with already compressed work (MP3), they have to uncompress, try to get rid of the already existing damage and then recompress. It never works ...

iTunes, Preferences, Advanced, Importing, AAC.

AAC is easily double the quality of MP3 at the same bitrate, so 256K will give nearly perfect stereo reproduction. You can go into Custom, Variable Bitrate and do even better.

I've never seen one. I have that in one of the paid packages, but it may not be as cool as you think. It's very ticklish to set up and if you do it wrong, it starts taking out places where people take a breath. If you set it wrong the other way, you get tails where some of the gap hangs around. You ...
