Audacity Forum

Much better. I can make your last posting meet ACX with just simple audiobook mastering. No noise reduction. However, you should not be able to change the Yeti volume in Audacity. Did you install any Blue software or drivers? The voice is clearer, but there is still something going on there. You hav...

I'm back. Remember, we're all volunteers across multiple time zones. There are very few ways for a Mac to mess with the microphone volume, but Chat is one of those ways. Do you use Skype, Chat or other communications apps? Do you leave them running in the background when you're not using them? That'...

Calm down. I think this one is all about me. You posted two sound clips with very nearly the same filename. I got the wrong one. I know that never happens to you, right? I'm in the field and can't do detailed analysis, but I don't have to. Your raw performance is way too quiet. Let's see. Snowball. ...

I just play the DVD on my laptop

It's time consuming but it does work. That can be far simpler than trying to take the DVD apart. Glad you got it working. A note, if the DVD is in Dolby Surround (six tracks) you will only get the plain stereo version (two track) of the show this way.

Thanks, but we need that two second room tone (background sound) at the beginning. That's really important for analyzing your performances. We can't take effects or filters out of a performance, so we need that raw reading to tell what happened, or what's happening. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacit...

What kills most voice generators isn't voice quality. That can actually be pretty good. It's theater. Emphasis, dipthongs, swing, interp and presentation. A live announcer gets those from experience not the printed word. There's no Audacity filters for that. The really good ones are using AI to deri...

You can set the H2n to automatically limit loud noises and disturbances.



See your users manual.

You can suppress the peaks, but you can't easily change the thump, click or pop sound of the overload. That's where the digital system in the H2n stopped following the show. You can try Effect > Limiter. You might have to experiment with the settings since you're trying to tame a wild recording. My ...

very well behaved noise. A recent poster submitted a test that passes ACX-Check, but still failed noise. What actually happened was they failed Human Quality Control. Their noise wasn't gentle, spring rain in the trees shshshshshsh, but was instead a high-pitched, screeching, fingernails on blackbo...

I had two that required 9,6,6. There is no treating chapters differently. ACX requires your chapters to match. As an extension of that, they require your chapters beginning and endings match, your chapters match each other and the beginning and end of the book matches. barely. I was in the -60 to -...
