Re: I think I've messed it up again - please help!

The clip has several problems, most, hopefully easily corrected. With the clip open in Audacity > View > Show Clipping. Do you see the two places with red marks over the blue waves? Those are overload points where the voice is too loud. The digital system has stopped following your voice. There is n...

I think you prepared your tracks wrong. I don't think you need to split to mono. The effect works on stereo tracks.

Re: Voice Elimination

Voice elimination effect There is no Voice elimination effect. There is Vocal Reduction and Isolation and the old, legacy Vocal Remover. Vocal Remover was an automated way to execute the classic Split, Flip and Add technique. Any sound in the middle of a stereo field (lead vocal) would cancel. It s...

Re: Does this audio sound right?

One other note. I cut off the extra silence at the end and one of the three seconds at the beginning. It's not good to have too much room tone (background sound) in the clip. It throws off RMS Normalize.

I got the clip to pass ACX and sound reasonable. I left out Noise Reduction. I think Noise Reduction is distorting the tones in your voice before the other tools even get to it. Low Rolloff RMS Normalize Limiter Try it. Do what you did to the unedited clip skipping Noise Reduction. It passes ACX Che...

Re: Does this audio sound right?

It does. I'm trying to figure out why.
