Audacity Forum

I can hear the transition when it goes to my room tone, and back to the original recording. That's not normal. Can you identify the noise? Is this your refrigerator going on and off? Is it traffic noises? If you don't change the studio between the takes, then the background noise should be constant...

There are ways to not make the error in the first place. That's "P-Popping." http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/clips/PPopping.mp3 You can record further from the microphone. Chase in this example is way too close to the microphone and all his breath sounds are recorded. You should stay about ...

The Audio Midi Setup on my Mac corresponds to the input/output set up in Audacity and I have the format set to 2ch-32bitFloat

Try 16 bit. Audacity always runs internally at 32-floating, but not everything in the outside world supports that.

realm of a ring modulator. The Ring Modulator also known as a Linear Multiplier smashes the two sounds together such that the product of the two sounds survives but not either of the two originals . As above, that give you the vocal singing guitar (Peter Frampton) and some popular science fiction s...

If you have trouble installing it, post back. I'll duplicate the steps rather than guessing at it. Here's another trick. As an experiment on your submitted clip. Apply Betsy and Tracy twice. See what you think. Roughly here, we ask you how you're listening. Good quality headphones or music sound sys...

This one is handled entirely within Equalizer. Open or record a short audio. Content doesn't matter. Equalizer will not work without it. Effect > Equalization > Save/Manage Curves > Import > point it to the file > Open. The display should be flat line except for that pothole over on the right. I for...

Mosquito-killer You should be clear what Mosquito Killer is actually doing. Mosquito noises are the USB cable digital tasks leaking into the sound. We know most USB tasks "whistle" at 1000hz and multiples. 2000Hz, 3000Hz, etc. The default Mosquito killer stops at 8 tones or "mosquito...

There is one semi-hidden problem. I think Audacity comes out of the wrapper with Audacity > Preferences > Recording > [X] Overdub selected. If you do that, Audacity is expecting the recording and playback setups to be perfect. So an error anywhere in either system will cause a failure. Koz

Betsy and Tracy works pretty well. Takes the edge from the hissy sibilants (and mouth clicks) without doing too much damage. This is what other more normal microphones sound like. Gritty, harsh sound is not normal but the microphones are not going to great effort to produce it. It's all down to freq...

Betsy and Tracy was a show that had the same crisp delivery you have and that's how I helped it. I saved the setting. It should look a bit like this on the right-hand side.
