Re: Lost audios because of orphan block files?

You may have sent someone your Project Manager (AUP) File. That's a text file that tells Audacity what to do with all that stuff in the _DATA folder. They both have to be there. This is one Project. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg The _DATA folder holds your show in ti...

Re: usb mixers

I don't know of any list like that, but you might tell us what the goal is and what doesn't work. It seems to be a pretty nice compact mixer, but I did notice one missing piece. I didn't see where it lets you listen to the computer audio . You would need that for overdubbing or sound on sound. It's ...

Re: Delay in Microphone start

That would seem to be an evil microphone, but what's the possibility the microphone is being used by something else? Do you use Skype, Chat, games or other sound program? Skype in particular likes to take command of the microphone and it doesn't matter what you want. Cold restart the machine (Shift-...

Re: HELP! Same set up over two days, but different audio quality!

Just because I haven't been a wet blanket for at least ten minutes, you can still fail ACX. Several posters got rejected because they didn't read ACX instructions and submitted the wrong number of seconds of Room Tone. https://www.acx.com/help/acx-audio-submission-requirements/201456300 We're only d...

Re: HELP! Same set up over two days, but different audio quality!

OK, so that settles that. Noise Reduction forces you to get a fresh profile every clip or show. It stops working if you don't. It will not give you an OK button.

Badda Bing, Badda Boom, and out the door. I didn't use DeEsser because it has little or no effect. MosquitoKiller4 > Mastering 4 > Noise Reduction of the beast (6,6,6). Most tools' settings stick from application to application, so for example, you only have to set up Effect > Limiter values once. T...

Re: Exporting stereo

I remember that. I had a computer to check once that failed audio specifications right and left. Severe bleed-through between the channels. Turns out someone left "Cathedral Effects" running on the soundcard when they delivered the computer. Does it do that if you play it on several differ...

Re: AUTOMATING inserting separate voice recordings to create a conversation output. Has anyone done it?

Sometimes the Hollywood people have someone from production reading the mirror part of the dialog so the actor has something to work from to suggest rhythm and timing, as opposed to reading the script cold which most actors hate. The industry is audiobooks. I know ACX suggests a split between audiob...

Re: Which Effect can be used to smooth the wave?

OK, then as above, the Envelope Tool can give you the ability to click and drag corrections without leaving abrupt changes (unless you want them).

Re: Which Effect can be used to smooth the wave?

Depending on what you're doing, there may be completely automated ways of fixing volume problems. What's the show or goal?
