Re: Questions about 3x3' room size with tall ceilings and reverb!

Why would you say there's no way to fix echoes?? That's the whole point of sound-deadening. There's no way to fix echoes in post production editing . You have to fix them at the live talking step. I had dinner at a house with a stunning, high-ceiling living room. It had cathedral sound. "Hang ...

Re: Questions about 3x3' room size with tall ceilings and reverb!

Right. And I have all the pieces to make a teepee on my desk from cheap plastic plumbing pipes and throw one of the blankets over it. All these work and it's your particular environment that dictates which direction you go. I'm dying to hear a sound check. The formatting of the forum dialog is carri...

Re: ACC file time is changing to 789:57:13

I know everyone is placing the blame on iTunes Maybe not universally. Audacity (as far as I know) won't make an M4A file. It needs the FFMpeg helper software. I believe there is a new FFMpeg for use with the new 64-bit version of Audacity 2.3.1. I think we mentioned already 789:57:13 number isn't a...

Re: Any tips for recording rain

You mostly can't record rain, but you can record it hitting stuff. This is a cousin problem of making a video of an earthquake. You don't. You record the credenza falling over. So what's the script or story you're trying to illustrate? Rain on the street, rain in the trees, rain on the water. All di...

Re: Questions about 3x3' room size with tall ceilings and reverb!

Desperation method has you deadening opposing walls . In the case of the ceiling, that means throw acoustic mud on the floor. Drop by the carpeting store, wait until they go to bed and pick up some of the old heavy carpet remnants and carpeting padding from their dumpster. preventing acoustic quilts...

Re: Recording a Skype conversations

I didn't find a way to open the MP4 Skype file directly into Audacity. You could try to install the FFMpeg add-on software. FFMpeg expands the number of file types that Audacity will open and make. Scroll down to Optional Downloads. https://www.audacityteam.org/download/windows/ Note this is differ...

Re: ACX say my RMS is too low

I think I will write a book.
Part of the mastering design is making sure we don't cure problems that only happen to one person. You have non-typical problems that are causing puzzled looks among the elves.

So you should be careful with that book deal.

Re: Recording a Skype conversations

It's the recording feature on Skype v8. Like the one I posted up in the first message. https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12395/how-do-i-record-my-skype-calls Thanks for posting back. I think you're the first hands-on experience. They do mention it drops off the service after a certain time. So it'...

Re: Recording a Skype conversations

I know you're going to ask about recording cell, mobile, or telephone calls. I use a special Olympus TP-7 microphone and an Olympus sound recorder. The microphone goes in your ear and picks you up through bone conduction and the far side through plain sound pickup. This is the microphone connected t...
