Plug one USB microphone into computer 1 and the other into computer 2. When you roll both for record, make one loud noise that both microphones can hear as a sync point for matching up later. You may run into speed accuracy issues with home computers, but you can usually take care of that with Effec...

Any reduction stiffer than about 12-15 is going to cause sound damage. 1. Noise Reduction is only good with sounds that never change such as air conditioning or computer fan noises. It doesn't work on occasional sounds such as clothing or other people sounds. 2. The audios lack volume That's easy to...

And I said line-in, not mic-in. Windows treats everything as a microphone. They probably thought that was easier than trying to explain the difference. Is there any change in the availability of input filters? It's not an "input filter" problem. Audacity, by conscious design doesn't do an...

I am hoping the problem is room noise I can dampen. It's possible, but unlikely. Room noises tend to have a signature or special "musical" tones. Air conditioners have some tones from the power system (60Hz in the US) and many computer fan noises have similarities. Yours doesn't. It's jus...

Everybody thinks Josh Turner is doing a Skype recording or something like that. No. He said they all produce their own tracks and he syncs them up in North Carolina. Pretty much exactly what you're doing. He did a massive thank-you show where he smashed all the cities and performers into one screen....

You got everybody together before the show for a test run, right? The computer recording and voice performance thing is sometimes so bad it is recommended to stop using the computers to record. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/ZoomH1nTechnicalSetup.jpg That's a Zoom stand-alone sound recorder...

A for concept. B for execution. Screen Shot 2020-01-19 at 2.45.44.png That is one of Josh Turner's multi-city extravaganzas. Everybody 's wearing headphones. You can do the sync thing by holding one headphone up to the microphone. It even works with earbuds. Screen Shot 2020-01-19 at 2.57.20.png The...

I am going to go ahead with recording my ebook with these settings and I'll be back to let you all know if ACX accepts it. Why don't you go ahead and send them a short test. https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=349993#p349993 If it fails, you're out ten minutes, not weeks of work. If it d...

You don't resample. MP3s get funny if you do that. The studio should deliver WAV archive files in addition to anything else. Open their WAV archives and File > Export > Export as MP3: MP3, Constant, 192. You should be in mono (one blue wave), so the stereo options don't do anything. If you took deli...

In case I wandered too far off. Plug the XLR microphones into the 2i2 and plug the 2i2 USB data cable into the computer. You know you're successful if you can yell into the microphones and get the 2i2 knobs to flash and turn colors. Search computer devices for the one that corresponds to the 2i2 whi...
