Re: MP4 import issues even with ffmpeg and latest version

I confirm the ffmpeg is correct and mounted
How? There are two different FFMpegs now. One for 32-bit and one for 64-bit. It's possible you carefully mounted the wrong one. Checking.

Re: Usb not showing up in the options for microphone

There is a headphone jack for private practice, plus stereo outs to connect to a PA system, amplifier or recording console. Bingo. Now all you need is a nice Behringer UCA202 as a stereo sound interface... https://www.amazon.com/Behringer-U-Control-UCA202-Ultra-Low-Interface/dp/B000KW2YEI ...and yo...

Re: ACX audiobook: hiss / whine from my laptop's wheezy fan

The last posting is quieter. It's also major fourth higher in pitch (four white piano keys). Are we experiencing a fan speed change with heat? It doesn't matter because the steady, gentle hissing of the microphone system is now relatively louder than the fan whine and they're both very quiet. I mast...

Re: ACX audiobook: hiss / whine from my laptop's wheezy fan

trying to learn mastering on the fly. We got actual mastering—producing a technically perfect product—down to three tools. As long as you announce well in a quiet room and nothing is broken, that will always produce an acceptable product. Screen Shot 2019-09-10 at 15.15.16.png That's a short form e...

Re: ACX audiobook: hiss / whine from my laptop's wheezy fan

I'm in the field, so that will need to wait until I get home. parked the laptop on a table outside the cupboard. That's a pretty common solution. The only down side to that is not being able to see how loud you are. Has the client heard samples of your work? That's the other reason not to get throug...

Re: ACX audiobook: hiss / whine from my laptop's wheezy fan

That seems to go away after applying RMS Normalise, limiter etc. That's what mastering does. You can't announce directly into ACX—or you can't do it more than once. Apply the tools in order. They affect each other. The Equalizer pre-conditions the sound so the other two, RMS Normalize and Limiter ,...

Re: Record Skype (or other VOIP) using Audacity and Linux Mint?

There's nothing magic about doing it in Audacity. Under some conditions, Skype will record calls on its own servers.
