Re: Samson Meteor Audio Level is low around 0.3 - -0.3

I'm very sure you should be announcing into the light. The capsule inside points toward the side grill not the top. Screen Shot 2018-03-31 at 10.51.25.png Screen Shot 2018-03-31 at 10.51.46.png I think by "center line" they mean you should not wander left and right. This is a directional m...

"the vocalist should aim the mic center line towards their mouth"
Fascinating. And yet all other evidence suggests strongly this is a side-address microphone, not end-on.

Doing that wrong could be the reason for your low volume.

As we go.

Re: New to Audacity, trying to clean up audio

You may have just used Noise Reduction wrong. It's not particularly simple. I did a noise reduction pass. Drag select the dead part before the first note. Effect > Noise Reduction > Profile. Then Effect > Noise Reduction again > 9, 6, 3 > OK. Then equalization just a bit to get rid of the single roo...

Re: RMS Normalize seems to undo everything else

I have the mic to the side from my lips. That works for me, too. Off the corner of my mouth instead of straight in front of my nose. If I do that just right, I don't need the tennis racket. P Popping and plosives work by sudden broad masses of air. The black tennis racket works by only stretching e...

Re: Audio Tracks flatlined all of a sudden

I rebooted the project from the last save That's not what I said. I said when you finish your recording, Export a WAV (Microsoft) perfect-quality, stand-alone sound file of the work.

Re: Problem for a beginner

You can get rid of it with Effect > Normalize: [X] Remove DC > OK. But. That's likely a broken soundcard. The soundcard is supposed to combine the battery or power from the computer with your voice in such a way that only the digitized voice is left. Your soundcard is allowing some of the battery to...

Re: what is the best way to get normal deep voice! in audaci

I don't know clearly what you said ,(the first post) ?? It would be a good idea to post a sample clip of your voice on the forum. It's much better if we know what your voice sounds like before processing to know the best tools to use. That link is the instructions for an audiobook test clip, but it...

Re: hum

When possible use a XLR to XLR balanced mic cable

Also from the posting, there is no SR57.
