This is a panel with "my" DeEsser settings. DeEsserDefault.png Note it only works reliably after mastering. It depends on Mastering to get the voice within range of its tools. All these tools interact which has been a real juggling act. There was a recent poster trying very hard to take th...

Oh, I get it. There are two different people in there now. You can totally apply the three steps manually and that's the way it was designed. https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audiobook_Mastering That's the safest way until we get this Equalization oddity licked, although if you insure the right cu...

So now I have some background noise that I didn’t have before mastering. Maybe not. When you read, your voice and the background noise have a fixed relationship. When the mastering tools are applied, both volumes increase the same amount. If there is a background noise boost, then there may be some...

I am about a “Chakra” whatever the heck that is...away from my mic Oh, that's good. Can I use it? My Yoga instructor will love it. I need to go later and get my Shaka's lined up. Hang loose, dude.

Audacity has the ability to add Labels to a show to indicate significant points in time. The illustration is a monolog. If you have a stereo music show, you may have two blue waves. The labels can be used as part of the Export system to automatically break one long show into individual sound files. ...

Effect > Equalization may be your best bet. Screen Shot 2019-03-26 at 10.20.12.png and the spectrum is this. Screen Shot 2019-03-26 at 10.20.57.png Audacity Equalization remembers Last Curve Changed in Chains or Macros. So if you want a curve to "stick" forever through multiple uses, chang...

Thats's basically how I got this curve. 2000 and 5000 are roughly at the -3dB points and 3000 is down in the trench at about 20dB lower than everything else. Screen Shot 2019-03-26 at 10.07.17.png If that's good enough, I can list how I did it. It was way too complicated compared with a good, single...

I need to go play Real Life for a while. More later, or someone else may post. You should know you are never going to get ruler-flat cuts and passes. Sound doesn't work like that. You should choose the straightness and steepness of the active area in dB per octave, etc. etc. For example, 3000Hz is n...

The desperation method is: Effect > High Pass Filter Effect > Low Pass Filter That will allow you to choose your high and low values and the cut-off slopes. Try it once with Generate > Noise and then Analyze > Plot Spectrum to see if you get what you want. I thought Effect > Notch Filter would do th...

I never got the chance to finally achieve progress till today.

We're glad to help.

What happened today?
