Audacity Forum

One Drive. I soon learnt that this was not ideal

Audacity doesn't always get along so well with cloud drives. Everything should be local.

does the current position indicator say the video is playing?

What's the timeline cursor doing during that two seconds?

I had to move a bunch of things to stupid places just to get it to fit somewhere In other words, you're making a sound studio. There's a massive CRT in here Really, glass monitor? Cathode Ray Tube? Not a flat LCD monitor? Takes two people to lift it? If it is a glass monitor, those things can radia...

The only part I can't force to work is the big room echo. At 9 seconds there is a serious echo. "Where you redeem this card-ard-ard-ard." Turn the volume up a bit when you listen. You got lucky. Most of the room noise is lower pitch than 100Hz which is the cutoff for the "Low Rolloff ...

I don't know how much more there is. We've given you the overall rules of sound level change. I already told you about the baby screaming on a jet. That's the human ear response thing. "Come and fix the baby" takes priority over the violin note. Design one experiment and listen to it on a ...

I'd think people would miss that splitting to mono step.

That's self-limiting. If you try to post a 20 second stereo voice test, the forum will reject you. The data size is too big.

You're getting into the heavy deep theory. When you sing, the actual exhalation of breath doesn't carry any music. That's just blowing out a candle. It's your throat causing lumps and bumps and vibrations in the air flow that's doing the work. That's represented by the up and down parts of the wavef...

When you get closer, you can post a Proof Of Performance sound test.

Everybody gets the first step wrong. Do Not move or breathe during that first two seconds.

We're faster than ACX's two week turnaround.

desktop tower is in here too and that noise is picked up That's what I think I hear in NonClicking.wav. It's a combination of motorway trucks going by in the distance and gentle rain in the trees ffffffffff. The hiss (fffff) is almost certainly coming from your microphone system and is normal. The ...

it doesn't ever reach 0 That's a good thing. 0dB is the volume that the sound "runs out of numbers" and starts distorting. It can't get any louder even if the physical performance tries. It's sometimes called clipping because the waveforms look like the tops and bottoms have been surgical...

There is a way to get there. Drag-select a bunch of sound and Analyze > Contrast > Measure Selection. That will be the RMS (loudness) of that selection, based on 0 being maximum. Say -25dB. Measure another chunk of sound and that might be -20dB. There's 5dB between them. You can listen to them and g...
