Re: Can't record from USB interface after upgrade to Mojave

Audacity 2.3.2 is a 64-bit app now and the Mac should stop complaining at you.

Re: How can I make my voice-overs better?

I might have already run the noise removal on that "before" Busted. Noise reduction can cause some serious problems that's why it's important to submit a clean recording. Noise Gating can be very seriously difficult to manage. I have trouble with ACX's latest recommendation. If you couldn...

Re: I think I've messed it up again - please help!

There are other methods, but probably not a button-push from where you are now. Do you have a smartphone? They all have voice recorders. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/iPod-MicStand-500.jpg You can probably get your computer to do everything, but maybe not with Audacity. There is a list of multi...
