Re: Best tutorial?

There are no editing instructions for the same reason there are no manual videos. By the time you get a presentable production, the next Audacity version is issued and you have to start over. It's a career move. Almost all of the YouTube videos available are, as of April 19th at 10:34 AM, likely wro...

Re: Direct audio capture seems to be broken? M1/Big Sur

My Old, Old, Old machines used SoundFlower as a sound device. My just old (but current to me) machine uses iShowU. Apple has not allowed capture of "system audio" since forever. What he said. Macs don't have built-in sound pathways for recording streaming audio. The desperation method is s...

Quiet Beeping Sound

I just watched MKBHD's review of the 4/20 apple event and he has a quiet beeping behind his voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vInUoPtg8m0 It's not there all the time. It depends on the edit. Tee Tee Tee Tee Tee. I think it's the same noise that one of the forum posters complained about and I th...

Re: Rode Procaster dynamic mic loud hiss

not the condenser which I returned My head is really spinning right now. If you don't have a condenser microphone, where did you get the long test from? I have not tried DeSibilator yet, but I just installed it according to your instructions and can't wait to give it a try! The DeSibilator is used ...

Re: leveling L & R input

Ripping is where you achieve a sound or other performance file quickly typically taking far less time than the duration of the performance. There are software packages that allow "ripping" of CDs, DVDs, and Youtube content. Recording is creating a permanent record of a performance in real ...

Re: Won't read or write to external harddrive (D:)

the photos on C:\ are backed up to a different external than the one I am currently trying to use for the podcast.
Are you going through a USB hub or other multi-point USB management system? Those have caused live production problems for years.

Re: leveling L & R input

correction feature as part of 'normalise' but wonder if that's really doing the job. Normalize is not a second-by-second processor. It works on an overall average and makes one correction. If your show is constantly changing you may need much more serious processing. Also a problem if the job isn't...
