There's another non-electronic thing that happens to New Readers. They get to the of the book and realize what trash the beginning was and read the first few chapters over again. Some read the whole thing again to make sure all the chapters matched. Make sure that closet is comfortable. How far sout...

ACX puts great stress on making the voice as natural as possible. That means not applying any more corrections and patches than you can help. Getting rid of that background hum—physically, remove the motors—will do a world of good. So far we have people using Zoom H4, Zoom H1n and Zoom H5 stand-alon...

What would be the price point to get myself to another level of sound quality? I think you should resolve all the current problems first and then maybe think about other microphones. For example, you have motor hum in your last post (the plain one). You need to resolve that before you do anything e...

This is the publication for Windows. https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_effect_generator_and_analyzer_plug_ins_on_windows.html downloaded the De-click and de-esser links you posted. Probably not me. I'm not a fan of those two because of the right-brain gymnastics you need to do to use th...

AT XLR mic straight into the laptop There is no good, simple analog adapter between an XLR microphone and the Mic-In of the computer. The XLR is 3-wire and the computer is 2-wire, and that's over and above needing to supply phantom power or other considerations. When you start using the computer to...

What's the correct distance? Roughly a Hawaiian shaka. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/HawaiianShakaSpacing-NoScreen-500t.jpg Or a power fist assuming a tennis racket pop and blast filter. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PowerFistSpacing-Screen-500t.jpg http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/...

Room Tone at the beginning is pretty important. If the clip goes much over 20 seconds, chop off words at the end. Hasn't anybody come up with a bright idea on how to replicate that with something that won't mess up the filtering process? It may not be that bad. This is where I dig into process and t...

I re-recorded that sample And you didn't include the two-second 'don't move' dead spot at the beginning. The analysis tools use that spot to measure noise. Will it be better to leave the final noise reduction for post-production? Darn good question. When you finish a read—no corrections—you should ...

Are these tools you're using accessible to me? Every one. And instructions how to use them. By "How are you listening," I mean do you have good headphones? Good speakers? Other? Laptop built-in speakers need not apply. It also doesn't count if you can hold both of your computer speakers i...

I made a correction called "WoolSock." It's a plugin setting for Effect > Equalizer. sample-for-audacity-PatchedWithWoolSock.wav Play the last two sound clips and see if you can find the differences. The second one should be less "essy." We'll take you through how to apply all th...
