Re: Bug - Cannot Get Out Of "Play Mode"

Audacity booted slowly, and wouldn't record or edit audio after playing the audio once. Like, I cannot add any effects or record anything You're not running out of drivespace, are you? How long was the show? Audacity UNDO makes total copies of the whole show as UNDO every time you make an effect. I...

Re: Monstruous distortion of my voice

a brand new headset successfully tested with Skype. How would you know? you can't hear your voice at the far end and most people consider being able to barely understand the far side a success.

Re: stand alone recording

Re: RMS Normalize seems to undo everything else

The audio is almost always set to peak at 0 at voices.com Loudness Wars dictate you make a performance as loud as you possibly can so as to get noticed. It drives everybody nuts.

Re: Sticky Amplify

If it's about this topic: Yes, but. The track has AGC on the performance and there is no unique firework pop. The explosion is a blob of highly distorted waveforms that slowly reveals the music as the AGC comes down from the ceiling. Note the music is throbbing bass rock and many if not all of the ...

Sticky Amplify

Reverse Delete

Re: How to remove background noise?

I took the bangs out of the first 20 seconds or so. Attached.

Re: Meeting ACX Requirements w/ Audacity

The forum thread jumps from 2014 to 2018. That's why I couldn't follow it. Post a new message unless you're helping get somebody else out of trouble.
