Audacity Forum

does Audacity have tools to let me analyse a short bit of audio for frequency distribution Two of them. You can turn the timeline into a rainbow that gives a rough indication of pitch distribution. Black arrow drop-down on the left > Spectrogram View . Pull the timeline taller to see more. And the ...

will be correct if i ask/request this there? You could, yes. Being professionally "glass half empty," I can see problems with making a tool like this too handy. One wrong move or command in the wrong place and you could destroy your machine. rm *.* comes to mind. Destroy everything you ca...

That extra thing in the leg of one microphone is a phase reverser. It exactly reverses the sound signal such that anything that appears on both mi...

Can anyone suggest any ways I might lesson the impact of this, semi-automatically? The short answer is no. We can't separate voices from each other in a mixed show. You noticed the ear's sensitivity to baby's screaming. That's not an accident. Ear sensitivity peaks around 3000Hz. I use "baby s...

Audacity doesn't make a very good Surveillance Recorder. That's your Google Search Term.
