Re: Audio percussive, booming?

Ah! Got it! I hung out with a police dispatcher and he sounded normal in real life over coffee, but had an announcing technique which was very staccato and stiff for his job. He could punch right though police radio channels with all their restrictions, interference and real-life noises. That's what...

Re: Audio percussive, booming?

I think you're right. There's something a little weird about the presentation, but I don't know that I can put a name to it. That would be a little tiring for a long presentation. What's the microphone? Can you produce a longer test? Don't process or do anything to it. http://www.kozco.com/tech/auda...

Re: App not responding

Where are the MP3s? I see by your graphic that your system is trying to do a Time Machine Backup while you're working. Screen Shot 2019-07-27 at 20.13.47.png I do my Time Machine backups manually so I can predict when they happen. I wouldn't be shocked if that process could mess up anything with cri...

Re: Audacity 2.0.3

Audacity doesn't have email support.

You should tell us that you're trying to record and with what. We have no idea what your sound device is.

Re: Audacity sample rate for recording

Missed one. You can output your show at 32-floating WAV, but you should be able to point to someone who can open and play it. Otherwise you'll have a unicorn pet on your hands. Nice to look at, but nobody can play it. Screen Shot 2019-07-26 at 12.36.02.png Also you can go into the Audacity setups an...

Re: Audacity sample rate for recording

Studio digital rates are 96000 and 24bits. Anything higher than that isn't sound any more. 384,000 sample rate will cheerfully record LORAN navigation radio transmissions. Not the information on the transmission, the actual transmission itself . Probably not what you had in mind unless you happen to...

Re: Need help acheiving a stereo output.

I am transferring music from a cassette to my computer. How? Older machines had an actual stereo input connection, but that's not the case now. Some newer machine have no analog sound connections at all. I can see the meters displaying the two distinct parts The meters on what? The cassette deck or...

Re: "Normalize" producing a weird audio effect when playing/pausing?

That is an amazingly damaged sound file. Where did it come from? I think you are going to spend most of your time "rescuing" it instead of changing it to do what you want. Can you get a cleaner copy?

Re: Clipped at .5

There is a warning about recording a whole book before you test and see if you're doing it right. Some reading errors are recoverable later and some aren't. We publish an Audiobook Mastering Suite of tools which can apply volume corrections and processing to make your performance compatible with ACX...

Re: Clipped at .5

See about the 8 second mark on your new device, there is funny square pattern on the new timeline? That's very not normal and it could indicate some more serious problem in your system. What's the possibility your USB connection is loose or damaged? There are problems on your older show as well. Tur...
