Re: I need help uploading my podcast please.

Let's see if I got this. Most podcasting platforms use a file transfer service, not email. Last check, my email poops out at about 25MB of data attachments and that's not a lot of show. You used a station to produce your show and they sent it to you via email attachment? You should take that up with...

Re: Negative to Positive Decibel Reading

There may be another way out. I've seen more than one reference to a Sound Pressure Level APP for your phone.

Re: Negative to Positive Decibel Reading

Actually, there may be several problems. As above posts, there is no fixed relationship between negative audio levels and positive sound pressure levels. The silly solution is compare your H1n to a sound pressure level meter. https://www.kozco.com/pix/SoundLevelMeter.jpg And from there, you can more...

Re: Audio critique? It sounds like I'm talking in a box.

is there another affordable mic that does a better job? A word about that. Be leery of insanely cheap microphones that use the words "Broadcast," "Studio," "Recording," or "Professional" in the description. Here's one that uses all of them. Professional-Broad...

Re: Audio critique? It sounds like I'm talking in a box.

Yes, if we didn't cover this before. Position one of the little switch on the back is for normal presentations primarily in front of the Blue name. Position 2 is also directional, but intentionally reducing the volume of the microphone in the event you decide to play your trumpet instead of speaking...

Re: Audio critique? It sounds like I'm talking in a box.

As I think I said up a bit, the studio treatment (closet with winter coats) will solve a problem you don't have. The muffled sound is going to take some work. Yes, my snowball experiments are not a study in crisp, clear sound. However. Yeti microphones are not without their problems. There is a thin...

Re: How to play an audio file when receiving a vocal command or a certain sound?

Three problems right away. You posts have to be read before they're visible so don't double (triple) post.

Audacity has no way to make decisions. There is no IF this then Do that.

Audacity doesn't do anything during recording but record. No Recording filters or effects.

Re: playback and recorder meter problem

Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Recording.
