Re: Isolate Specific Sounds

I don't think Audacity is going to be much help. We can't split a mixed presentation into individual voices, instruments or sounds. Each voice is not a single pitch tone or note. Each voice is made of many different harmonics, pitches and overtones—and worse yet, they overlap and they're moving. Bar...

Re: Help for an amateur!

Is that before or after you tried? We can't take effects or filters out of a clip and multiple layers of effects isn't a good idea. Please post the raw interview.

Re: Easier way to patch with room tone?

Re: Noise Floor

I got it to pass but I did change the tools around a little. You have a very low pitched hum tone probably from a fan or maybe one of your lights.

Re: Easier way to patch with room tone?

I'm working on what will be a 7-hour audiobook which is taking about 3 weeks to edit. It's not unusual for people to be horrified that it takes five times the length of the production or longer to edit it. That's a rule, but it borders on being a gold-plated law.

Re: Clipping after RMS Normalization

I've been experimenting and I think I've got something that's going to work And you're going to tell us all about it, right? The powered hub used to be one of the go-to techniques to help with The Curse, but too many people found cheap-garbage powered hubs that caused as many problems as they cured...

Re: Advice on Chris's Dynamic Compression: use INSTEAD of RMS Normalize? When to do the De-Noise?

Got it. I was afraid I hadn't saved the link. https://voiceoveressentials.com/product/porta-booth-plus Or its big brother https://voiceoveressentials.com/product/porta-booth-pro Note in both of these it's not desirable to back yourself up against a plain, hard wall, or if you have no choice, cover t...
