Re: Noise floor pass/fail/pass/pass
What he said. The tool works on a half-second of "room tone" to figure out noise, but 3/4 second is recommended because nobody can hit the half-second with surgical accuracy. If you miss it at all, the tool gives false high readings. The instructions for a forum test posting have a two-sec...

Re: filtering out foreground noise
If it's a theatrical performance, you can get the actors to separately perform the work and then mix it with foreground sound in Audacity in post production. At worst, you can get different actors perform the work and pretend it's the same performance. Hollywood does that a lot. Deborah Kerr didn't ...

Re: filtering out foreground noise
Audacity can't split a performance into individual performers, instruments and sounds.
Audacity can't be used for law enforcement, surveillance or conflict resolution.

Re: which effects help with tunnel / far away sound?
which effects help with tunnel / far away sound? To answer the original question, there aren't any. Once you have that honky distortion, it's permanent. it's not nearly as good as other recordings with less expensive mikes. That's too open-ended. Used by you on this machine? If you can't solve this...

Re: which effects help with tunnel / far away sound?
Is it a laptop? Can you switch to the laptop microphone as a test? I'm going with the Zoom software. Your test sound file is poster child for communications voice processing. Perfect volume, no overload peaks or distortion and velvety quiet spaces between words. The only problem is that hollow sound...

Re: which effects help with tunnel / far away sound?
Highly compressed, bad cellphone, talking into a wine glass sound. Something is trying to process your voice. Very few environments can do that (other than an actual wine glass) and Yetis don't sound like that. If you followed all the instructions to turn off Windows Enhancements, we have to look at...

Read down the blue links. They're very short.
Just read, cut it down if needed, export WAV and post it. No effects or corrections.

Re: Can't Pass RMS No Matter What I Try
The second screen is typical of what happens when you try to analyze a stereo recording (two blue waves). You get two panels and sometimes two different sets of values. That's one of many reasons you should be doing post production in mono (one blue wave). I can't explain the values in the panels. T...

Re: Audio quality is reduced when converting
Export as MP3 and Export as Wav are right next to each other in the Audacity File menu.
