Audacity Forum

I bet you're wondering why nobody said the words: "Buy this microphone and all your troubles will be over." Past liability issues, I'm not sure anyone builds a microphone or microphone system that is unconditionally useful. That's one of the reasons I started doing sound tests with stand-a...

So there are two questions on the floor: How were you going to get a good quality microphone system like that into your computer to record it? How are you Quality Control listening to your own work? There is a side issue with listening that's not obvious. There's a technique of voice presenting wher...

raw, noise floor, Koz Equalization, compressor, limi./....... I'm going to come back to a question from earlier. How are you listening? The highly processed last clip is pretty much trash. It passes the ACX Check technical standards, but theatrically, it's useless. Nobody would pay to listen to tha...

This is what I've found so far. Emphasize "so far." Nothing wrong with any of that past a legacy discomfort of a maker insisting on using an actual vacuum tube. They break, have heat problems, turn on slowly and wear out. They make good advertising for people who don't remember using vacu...

OK (rolling up sleeves). Attached is UncleArmatage.XML . That's the custom equalization I used to get rid of some of the closet-room sound from your test clip. Copy it from the forum to your computer. Open Audacity with the raw test clip you sent us. Effect > Equalization > Save/Manage curves > Impo...

Could you tell me what you did with the Equalization? It sounds like a closet with no clothing in it—talking in a box. We recommend leaving the winter coats in there while you perform. I can post the actual correction curve I used shortly. You can tell Effect > Equalization to install my curve as o...

I think I can get rid of the talking in a small room sound with equalization (attached), but I can't do anything about the pumping noise sound. Every time you say anything there is a wishshsh of noise. That must be the app or the Android still trying to "help you." If you can't find a sett...

That clip doesn't pass. It's too quiet—low RMS. Are you using Mastering 4, or are you ad-libbing? Mastering 4 would never have done that.

Post the original.

Koz

I personally would have you post something before you process it. We can't take effects and processing out and there's no way to tell if we could have made it better.

Did you keep the original, raw read in WAV format like you're supposed to?

Can you post that?

Koz

There are conditions where ASIO is very desirable. If you want to overdub and don't have a Zero Latency interface or device, then ASIO services are the only way to do perfect overdubbing—where you hear yourself in theatrically correct headphone sound while you're performing. But again, that can be f...
