Re: Understanding sound levels

You haven't actually mastered anything yet, right? It's not just making it louder. Mastering is only three effects, but they interact with each other and each one helps the sound along. This is the official instructions for mastering. https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audiobook_Mastering The actual...

Re: Understanding sound levels

I thought they just can't exceed 20 seconds. That's correct, but you can slide over a bit longer and the forum will accept it. Some clean background sound is super important. Noise causes the most troubles in home theatrical recording. At the exact time when the end of the presentation should fall ...

Re: Understanding sound levels

I tried to noise reduce #10, too and I had trouble because the noises at the beginning and end don't match. I think you're just too impatient to get this over with. [Pause, quietly] "Her genie shoes with curved...........as she danced more in mid-air than on the floor." [pause, quietly.] S...

Re: Understanding sound levels

I tried to analyze #7 and I couldn't do it because you didn't leave the two-seconds of Room Tone silence anywhere in the piece. You immediately started moving furniture around at the end. " ...in midair than on the floor " Clunk, Clank, Bang! If anybody ever tells you how easy it is to be ...

Re: How to get broadcast-quality audio into Audacity

ACX specs are suspiciously close to broadcast equivalents. [me] Hey, wait. I've seen those numbers before... Production Reading conveniently starts with the ...

Re: No surround option

Re: No surround option

You don't get a surround option. You get a list of supported companies or services and they deal with surround. And you don't get any of that without the FFMpeg software install. Scroll down. https://www.audacityteam.org/download/mac/ You can do surround all by yourself, but all you do in Audacity i...
