Audacity Forum

Interesting! Does that mean it's easy to fix clipping/distortion/peaking if I go too hot? I don't know how to do that... My main problem is that I peak out and distort when I get louder, which happens semi-regularly in voiceover recording. Some lines are very dynamic, and have quiet parts interspers...

Interesting that the mic is 'known' for certain behavior. I wasn't aware of that. Where do you get that kind of info? I'd love to see a 'best practices' list for this particular mic... I listen to the final Audacity product through some nice Creative earbuds. I may invest in some studio headphones d...

Thanks for the responses, guys! I AM using a pop-shield, and I'm keeping my mouth between 6-10inches from my mic. I'll experiment more with talking to the side of it, too. My background noise barely shows up, but I'll see if I can get some sort of db reading on it. And I think I'm going to move my m...

I'm doing a lot of homegrown voiceover these days, and as wonderful as Audacity is, I can't figure out how to take my excellent recording and process it so it sounds truly professional. I'm running an AT4040 Cardiod Condenser mic through a Lamda Lexicon interface unit. I'm recording in my room, whic...

So basically, you can undo it, but not AFTER you've applied other effects, b/c you'll have to undo all THOSE to get to the one you're trying to get rid of.

In short, make sure you like an effect before moving on to others.

Done! Sounds great!

Playing around with it a bit, I've found you can get a similar, different effect by applying the 'am radio' Equalization effect several times to the same sample.

Thanks for the help!

I'm looking for a decent way to make a voice recording that's nice and clean sound like: 1) something you'd hear a caller on a radio call-in show sound like 2) something that you'd hear on an earbud in a spy movie/action game. "Your objective is the tower: place c4 around the base..." You know, stuf...

I've had problems with this in the past using Vista. I have to have my mic plugged in and turned on before starting Audacity, or it won't enable my microphone. If I just turn on the mic and restart Audacity, the problem is fixed.

Hey there, all! I hope this is the right forum for this, but here goes: I've been recording home VO for videogame mods for a little while now, and have been basically successful, but I have several questions about how to make my life easier. I know VERY little about recording, and have basically jus...
