Re: Will pay for help fixing my files

AUP is not a sound file. That's the Audacity Project manager file. It's text, not sound programming. Do you have any of your work "raw," after you read it but before you did anything to it? Do you work in stereo, two blue waves; or mono, one blue wave? If mono, drag-select about 20 seconds...

Re: Eliminating Frying Mosquitos - hardware suggestion

The Home Store plastic pipes work amazingly well. They have one odd problem. Don't leave any of the pipe ends open. They resonate with your voice and can change the tone. If you do have any open ends, stick a towel or sock in there. I did it with complicated wooden sticks. They don't have any proble...

Re: Eliminating Frying Mosquitos - hardware suggestion

But an old dude with a better microphone beat you out. You have the voice but not the microphone. That still makes my teeth hurt. People blame all sorts of things on a bad microphone. If you submitted a voice test with your room echo, I can believe they think a better microphone will get rid of tha...

Re: Newest version of Audacity. Running on windows 7. Latency problem.

This overdubbing dance only works with a USB or digital connection to the computer. Analog or RCA cables and Line-In will always have an echo on your real life voice. There are two latencies. Recording Latency in Audacity is where you adjust your voice and the backing track so they line up perfectly...

Re: NO such choice

but it should say "USB... something". Or not. That's what's so darn entertaining about this. The makers can choose to call it anything they want. My USB Connected Shure X2U arrives looking like "Shure Digital." But yes, Windows has to find it first. Then start Audacity and look....

Re: Eliminating Frying Mosquitos - hardware suggestion

The three EQ knobs are tone controls. The top one is treble (crispness), the middle one is, well, midrange (roughly telephone) sounds and the bottom one is bass notes and rumble. You can add those sounds or take them away, which is why "off" is in the middle.

Re: Eliminating Frying Mosquitos - hardware suggestion

And before you lose it in the mists of time, we were going to experiment with Gain at noon and re-adjust the other two for the same or similar results. Also, your volume is going to increase now that you readjusted the EQ knobs. This still doesn't feel right. Are you sure you couldn't find a Microph...

Re: Eliminating Frying Mosquitos - hardware suggestion

Reading back to chapter 6. Let's get the basic mixer working. Plug the mic into channel 1. Gain at around 3:00 o'clock Compressor off The next 5 knobs at zero or in the middle. The compressor knob should be off, but the EQ knobs should be in the middle. All the way to the left on those isn't "o...
