Audacity Forum

It's good to start a question by setting the scene rather than jumping straight into bit depths. "I captured some sound using a Frammistat® stand-alone sound recorder and I can't get Audacity to open the resulting sound files." As an example. This prevents us from going off in all differen...

There was a little voice.

Forget the 502. That's the odd duck with 15 volt phantom power rather than the more standard 48 Volt. Run away.

I sing with a mike, and accompany with my Mac and sometimes guitar.

Just reading that again.

How are you recording?

Are you capturing a live club performance? Is the mixer part of the audience mix? That complicates things........

Please don't double post. A forum elf has to read your posting before it appears. If you multiple post, an elf has to go around and mop up all the copies. I need FX, USB, a graphic EQ would be nice (but not necessary), and only a few channels. I don't agree. Simple EQ is available on most mixers fro...

The noise profile is not retained after closing Audacity. I think I'm on record as wanting the ability to save the profile somehow. You know eventually, you're going to hit the edit job with no place to grab the profile and whose sound is the same as a sister shoot. I wouldn't mind an extra step to...

though you may need a Cloudlifter to bump up the gain depending on your mic preamp. You should be careful with a Cloudlifter because it doesn't work with all microphones. It doesn't work with most condenser microphones that need phantom power because Cloudlifter "uses up" phantom power to...

But that file gives me the same error message! Sound files such as WAV or MP3 don't give that message. That only happens with Audacity Projects. This is an Audacity Project. It's a collection of files and folders. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg It's best if you File ...

We'll figure this thing out together. Or not. If the two cancellation tools fail, there's not much left. The Audacity Party Line is we can't split a mixed performance into individual voices, instruments or sounds. This question usually shows up as bad recordings where the operator got more on the t...

That sounds like other "stuff" in the music wandering in and out of the cancellation field. There are two tools. Vocal Removal and Vocal Reduction and Isolation . Try Vocal Reduction. That one has additional settings and adjustments. There's another possibility, too. Where did you get the ...
