Re: My First Recording With Audacity (Please Review)

The page is too busy and I'm not sure I'm listing to the right thing.

[Music] KingWhite − True Love

That's the only song that has a player. Is that you?

Nice tune.

Re: Selection too long for analysis

You should not change anything if you have a process that works. Voice, presentation and process tend to marry and if you change one thing, you may mess up something else. For one thing, Mastering 4 has no provision for mouth and other human noises. I'm surprised that RMS Normalize works with longer...

Re: Remove some audio buzz and increase main audio

only increase the volume/section where someone is talking and keep the rest low That's the same thing as noise reduction using different words. If you open the track in Audacity, you can drag-select the blue waves where the voice are and boost everything with Effect > Amplify. You have to do that e...

Re: Beginner Question on Recording Settings and General Advice

Here's one. Screen Shot 2018-08-14 at 05.54.34.png https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTeUeRxAS7M Please note the rest of his room is also padded. You don't need special sound deadening panels for the box although they work just fine. Heavy towels or layers of any heavy cloth works. I have used 12"...

Re: Beginner Question on Recording Settings and General Advice

can I do anything to still make this sound decent? Yes. Soundproof the room. The sound quality that separates higher end recordings from some kid fooling around is echoes and noise. I saved a clip from this presentation. They had been using an actual studio for their promotional announcements. They...

Selection too long for analysis

OK. So now that we've been little or no help at all, I still want to do a sound test. Set up for your normal recording process. Can you see the Audacity screen? Start a recording and slate it "volume and clipping test." Then say "wooooooooooof" several times and keep getting loud...

Re: removing incessant, metronomic clicking

This is a message thread that discusses various methods of removing clicks from vinyl. https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=346841#p346841 There is a process that can do a wonderful job repairing the distortion...one click at a time. Can't take you more than six months. I think one of the ...

Re: removing incessant, metronomic clicking

Which computer? I don't remember the particulars, but the digital bitstream is periodically failing to follow your voice. That's why it seems to get worse with volume. Because it's a sharp absence of sound rather than a spike or "up-tick," the regular click removers aren't going to help. I...

Re: Remove some audio buzz and increase main audio

Audacity can't split a mixed performance into individual voices, instruments and sounds. Even if the microphone noise level is normal, recording low volume is deadly. The noise reduction tools need to you to be able to identify "clean" noise, noise with no voices or other sounds. If you ca...

Re: Audio sounds strange

I did write this up once.

If you have one of these, you should put it in a nice box in the garage and connect your microphone a different way.
