Audacity Forum

On to the theater issues. I think you're too close to the microphone. You have that speaking and breathing directly into my ear effect but that's nothing compared to the P-Popping. Open your posted MP3 and listen carefully. "Miss PP eregrin's home for PP eculiar children." That's a rejecta...

You can open up LF rolloff for speech in any text editor (Text Edit) and read it. The instructions are in semi-English Extensible Markup Language (.xml). <equalizationeffect> <curve name="LF rolloff for speech"> <point f="50.0" d="-120.0"/> <point f="60.0" d=&...

the cat will be pumped. There is a video of a room with three or four cats in it napping (as cats do). For no apparent reason, they all wake up, pause, and go nuts running for cover. Beat. Beat. And the room starts shaking from an earthquake. You think it's a crappy mic? Not yet. You have some odd ...

Is there an equivalent setting for 2.1.1? Maybe, but there is a way to add Low Rolloff to earlier Audacity versions. It's not that complicated. It's a rumble filter. Home microphones sometimes have sound errors down in earthquake, thunder and large truck tones. This filter is designed to get rid of...

Somehow I managed to confuse the forum messaging system. Maybe it's my Special Power. There are some really exotic ways to mess up Audobook Mastering, but for the most part, if you apply the tools correctly and in order to a reasonably recorded voice track, you will pass both RMS (Loudness) and Peak...

A word on Mix-Minus . Even my simple mixer has FX Send with its own socket. Normally, you would send this channel or microphone to a special effects unit to add, for example, echo or something. That's the connection you send to your Skype computer instead of the computer's built-in microphone. Then ...

most "USB mixers" send the stereo mix to the USB port so they don't work for multi-track recording. Aren't there multi-track USB mixers? With the two-computer technique, the mixer "show," however many channels it is, is straight-simple. No reversing channels or odd routing. If A...

If everyone is a Skype connection, I think you can get Skype to record the composite and send it to you later. You can do that with a Skype license, a smartphone and earbuds. That's it.

That's your field shoot if you're not already doing that.

I work with a bunch of podcasters and we do a lot of Skype interviews but would like to have more flexibility in cleaning them up. Describe a large shoot/show. How many people and where are they? The less you nail this down, the more expensive the mixer and system gets. This was an engineering test...

can someone else, using audacity ot another type of software, remove these effects It depends on the effect. Effect > Amplify just makes the work louder or softer. Anyone can easily work around that. You should know that most voice disguising effects don't work all that well because someone can be ...
