What are you recording?

use a second computer (one to run Skype and one to record). That's what this is. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PodCast_Studio_WS-600.jpg The Skype computer is on the right and the "live production/recorder/music playback" is on the left. This experiment was designed to see how m...

You know what's going to happen, right? The two files are going to be statistically perfect in every way...except one is longer than the other.

I know of two sync problems, but I don't think either of them will give you errors that big. Was it reaaaally 30FPS, or legacy NTSC Color Television 29.976? Both are perfectly valid and can give you odd framing problems if you cross them by accident. Never do production in MP3. MP3's full family nam...

44100 and 48000 aren't the only two. Those are just the two most likely to be used in normal day-to-day home operation. Higher numbers are used in studios and lower numbers are used in utility jobs such as music on-hold and Voice Response.

Audacity does not have an INFO service. It's a feature request. If you ask Audacity for information about the sound file it just opened up, it will give you a blank look and shrug its shoulders. It's up to other software to figure it out. Right click on a Mac > Get Info and it will give you a whole ...

Probably not. The other sound people have done all they can with the sound between the words. You have actual word damage where it sounds like four people talking at the same time. Audacity can't split a performance into individual voices, instruments or sounds. I think this is what happens when som...

We are particularly interested in you resolving this because you are using the recommended process for producing a multi-point podcast with no transmission, delay, and internet collision sound damage. There are a handful of errors that only appear when you compare your work to somebody else's. It wo...

What happened with the MediaInfo tools? We absolutely expect your two sound performances to not match. You can do those locally without shipping sound files around. Make a short recording, "Testing one two three." Stop. File > Export WAV (Microsoft) 16bit. Run Media Info in your browser. M...

With speed changes that big, you do start to wonder if there's something else wrong. I expect an actual computer recording error to come in well below 1%. Effect > Change Speed is still a valid way to correct the error, but then you call whoever is recording the odd one and fix it so they all match ...
