Re: Re-Recording clips

Is there a way to take that part and re-record it without doing a lot of cutting and attaching? No. There's a way to get into a fresh recording, but no guaranteed way to get back out and have everything match (without cutting and attaching). "Smash Record" is a new technique and I need to...

Re: Cant Find/Add RMS Normalise plug in

RMS Normalization is a little more "dangerous" because it doesn't warn you about clipping. Which is why it appears prominently in the middle of Audiobook Mastering. The tools clean up after each other. https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=96103 Did I mention we publish ...

Re: Cant Find/Add RMS Normalise plug in

The ACX Checker shows up fine under when I go EFFECTS/Add plug ins ?
ACX Check should show up under Analyze, not Effects.

Wrong folder.

Go > Go to Folder.

Re: very low mic input since updated to 2.3

You can shoot for -3dB goal if you want, but if you do, make sure View > Show Clipping is turned on. If your presentation has thin red lines anywhere in the blue waves, that means you have clipping (overload) distortion, which for all practical purposes is permanent. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/p...

Re: Cant Find/Add RMS Normalise plug in

After you get RMS Normalize, make sure your Mac didn't "help you out" by renaming it. Right-click or Control-Click the file > Get INFO. That will tell you the actual name of the file and give you the opportunity to change it back. It's not supposed to have .txt on the end. Screen Shot 2019...

Re: Gurgly sound after I restart computer

The point is to hear the gurgly sound. The point is to fix the gurgly sound. Changing the conditions between "Before" and "After" test clips isn't helpful, particularly as you said you didn't. The two clips are different and it has nothing to do with the second guitar. Somehow, ...

Re: drawing (from ms paint) as a wave shape

One of the FFMpeg download options is the .EXE file rather than the .ZIP. Do you have Windows set to show you filename extensions?

Re: Is it possible to mix offvocals and a capella tracks together?

You can totally do them separate, but rhythm is going to be a serious problem. I would set up the system for overdubbing, but instead of the musical backing track, put in a Metronome track. Tick, Tick, Tick, Tick, "The itsy, bitsy spider, went up the water spout." Make sure the Metronome t...

Re: No Woman, No Cry

Send a pix of the setup. The H4 is an end-fire recorder, last I checked. You should not be able to easily see the screen and record at the same time. Did you get a shock mount with it? http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MBP_StarbucksStudioShoot-500w.jpg Those white spidery things on the back of the ...
