Re: Creating an outdoor PA system sound

It's good to know where you are, too. Are you right next to the podium or across the audience? The movie people use very different PA effects to sell different kinds of shots. Scene starts with the back of the performer's head looking out over the audience. Cut to: Hero One and Two huddling in the b...

Re: Recording issue - internal recording

https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_recording_audio_playing_on_the_computer.html It would seem this should be a piffle to do, but it's not. Basic computers have a playback system which takes internet sounds for one example and routes them to the speakers. It has a record side which routes L...

Re: High pass vs Low pass filter

you shouldn't need any filtering. What he said. You figure out what you need after you shoot something the best you know how and then listen to it. There's no "Professional Audio Filter" (other than that thing I wrote for April first). Use your good quality speakers or headphones to liste...

Re: Recording Long Sessions

This was a recording for radio broadcast. The thing on the right is the backup recorder.

Re: USB Microphone is not working on Audacity

Which USB microphone? Pretend I want to buy one.

Are you going through a USB hub or adapter?

See on the right Audacity is trying to send sound back to the USB microphone. You should choose your playback sound system.

Re: Recording Long Sessions

but I'm concerned about running Audacity, along with my computer, for that long. Right. This is a job for a stand-alone recorder. There are just so many things that can go wrong with computer recording and you'll never catch all of them. Having an SSD as C: is a good start. I would record it there,...

Re: need to figure out what effects i used.

There's a trick if you haven't closed Audacity since you performed the effects, then you can Edit > UNDO your way back to the beginning and take note of what shows up in the list. If you get lost, then DO and UNDO and pay attention. If you closed Audacity, you're dead. We can't take effects out of a...

Re: random playback distortion

Are you plugged in via a hub or other USB adapter? Do you have access to more than one USB connection? Does that make a difference (either way)? I have a machine with 10.9.5 and I use a short USB jumper cable so I don't wear out the connection in the machine. Did you wear yours out? Does it still do...

Re: Noise gate vs insert room sound

I was thinking about this in the shower (some of my best work...). If only there was a way to train the system what your voice is.... We do have a tool you can train. Noise Reduction. And Noise Reduction has a "Residue" setting. So in theory, if you select enough of your voice sample as Pr...
