Re: Why Are New Tracks Always Added to the End? You Should be Able to Add Them After the Selected Track

Oh. It took me second to get there. Audacity adds a performance to the end of the show , not the current track. You could use the other Recording option, Shift+R which starts a whole new track on its own line. That may be easier to move around. Plus, you can use the Time Shift Tool (two sideways arr...

Re: Trying to get my head around noise floor

Oh, and to bring this around. The object of your measurements is to make sure you have a quiet room so room, microphone, preamplifier, mixer, and analog to digital converter noise is a thousand times quieter than your voice. That's the audiobook and broadcast specification. -60dBFS. That's when you ...

Re: Trying to get my head around noise floor

iPhone (NIOSH SLM) to measure the noise floor of my recording space it shows 27.1 db If that's C Weight, that's actually pretty good. My meter won't reliably go any further down than about 55dB or so before I lose it. Somewhere down there, or even further is my studio which has no problem producing...

Re: Trying to get my head around noise floor

Can we go way back to the beginning and tell us what the actual job is? Are you going to record for Audiobooks? You are trying to measure dBSPL Sound Pressure Level. Doesn't it say that in your software or manual anywhere? The only way to really know what the phone is doing is compare it to a real d...

Re: Blue Yeti and recording tips,levels,advice etc.

I fond that the base is a little too heavy Not surprising. It's a serious filter. See all those little dots along the curve? Each of those is a tone control point and you can click on them and move them around. No control at all is a flat line at zero dB. Click on each dot and bring down the dots a...

Re: My recording starting position

We don't offer an email service. You actually have to be here and read the posts. We are a SPAM Magnet and posting a live email address is just begging for trouble. I removed the address. Record and Shift-Record were reversed a while back because most users were expecting "Record" to add c...

Re: Audacity as reverb detector

The sound card can do that. I got a machine from Systems and I couldn't get it to pass quality enough to put in service. The sound card had "Cathedral Effects" stuck on.

Re: New to Podcasting

we already have five shows recorded How did you make it through five shows before you found out it was broken? Were you all in one room? Try the LevelSpeech2.ny plugin. Can we assume you have the other voices as individual sound files? If not, then the correction gymnastics may have trouble catchin...

Re: Audacity as reverb detector

How did you get Audacity to record itself? Computers want to play to the outside world and record from the outside world. There is no play and then record that playback unless you applied special routing apps or other software. Routing apps and other software can generate feedback loops and other un...

Re: Black screen on replay

I think the fact you were using Audacity is unrelated to the black screen problem I agree. Might be a job for Geek Squad I agree, if that's your default repair service. Now for the least popular post of all time. What happen if the machine doesn't come back? Do you have your session, data, licenses...
