Re: My hand made vocal booth and voice test

I don't know that the dimensions are all that critical, and you can get an idea of the sizes from the microphone. The walls, ceiling and bottom have to meet. No holes or gaps. So construction accuracy is critical. But that's not the way I did it. I did it using common parts given you live near a Har...

Re: Silent Subliminal presentation system.

I did hear a multiple message presentation a while back. It was a "forward" voice and one or two lower volume background voices at the same time with different messages. It was remarkable that my head could keep track of all that and make sense of the messages. It was also exhausting. It u...

Re: Reducing booming

I resumed work on the project, thankful we had managed to work all the issues out, and resolved to never let anything like this come between us ever again! Thus neatly side-stepping a fix for the actual problem—bad studio acoustics. Echoes are your own voice arriving at the microphone multiple time...

Re: Reducing booming

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 mic The Scarlett 2i2 is an interface, not a microphone. Is there anything that can be done to improve either of these? You could try "looping." That's what the movies do if they run into a particularly difficult sound problem. Set your microphone up in a good, quiet...

Re: Dynamic range expansion, opposite of compression

a guest on the show is at home in front of his computer with less-than-desirable acoustics. Oh, it's far worse than that. Were they wearing headphones? If not, then Zoom was also gating the host's voice on the guest's microphone so it doesn't create a feedback condition. You can do everybody a real...

Re: Addition to Filter Curve EQ

You know you're not limited to the default horizontal size of the display, right? You can grab one edge of the window and pull. Then you can push the whole thing off the screen and do it again. You can get super accuracy that way without programming or development. There is one problem with super ac...

You can try. Effect > Change Pitch is one of the effects that can cause sound damage if you push the conversion too far. NowAvailableAtYourLocalEmporium.VoidWhereProhibited.LicensedDriversOnly.

Re: How to make Audacity stop when the cassette tape stops?

I hot-keyed over to Audacity, it had stopped with an error message Audacity is not like other computer programs in that it doesn't have stop and wait. It's not a spreadsheet or text editor which can take a breather while the computer does other tasks. Recording sound is an Always-On application and...

Re: How to make Audacity stop when the cassette tape stops?

We shouldn't ignore the obvious. How much drive space do you have? Is it a Solid-State Drive (SSD)? If it's spinning metal (older), optimizing might be a good idea. Optimizing isn't a good idea for SSDs. They have their own internal management system.
