Audacity Forum

Hi Robert They are all almost exclusively MP3 format. Is it as simple as you suggest? Just import them one by one, export them out again as a single song and then reload it to play back suppressing (muting) the unwanted tracks? Is there anyway the loading and playing back can be slickened up? I need...

Hello I'd first like to describe the background to this posting. I sing in a Barbershop chorus and we learn our stuff from the score and from what are called "teach tracks" (they used to be called teach tapes but even Barbershop occasionally moves on :) ). The teach tracks each separately contain th...

That's a lot of work; really appreciate it. But doesn't it just confirm that the sounds we typically hear in music are made up up of lots of frequencies combining somehow? Which is my starting point. If in a single heard or listened to instant there are multiple frequencies generated each carried on...

It's the "complex waveform made up of many frequencies superimposed on each other" bit I don't understand. How can a single physical device - like an eardrum or loudspeaker - vibrate at several frequencies, all at the same time? If the frequencies occur at the identical same moment why don't they ju...

OK. Now that's settled can I address one thing I have never understood about sound? Pure sound - like the concert hall "take your seats" A - is pretty uninteresting and the ear is drawn to harmonies (and unresolved sequences like the leading 7th). Harmony means more than one frequency being played o...

Basic problem is you can't record/film and perform at the same time. I need a better monkey! All in all, the video recorder only cost £159 so I can't ask for too much. But learning enormously as I go here. Thanks to everyone for their help and contributions. PS "Some editing artifact can be ameliora...

Audacity can "see" the clipping but if I use clipfix it either removes so much that the soundtrack is affected or not enough so that the clipping remains.

I suppose removing a "clip" removed whatever was recorded at the same instant?

It can't reinstate because it doesn't/can't know what to put back?

Really kind. Thanks for the info; and the explanation which will help me next time.

On the hunt now for a declipper. There isn't one in my Audacity 2.0.2 set-up that I can see.

I made a recordng but had the Mic Gain up too high. When the volume produced by the singers exceeded a certain level distortion was added by the recorder.

Is there any way this can be removed?

It's a San Disk Ultra 30Mb/s class 10 32Gb card. Should be OK?

Strange thing is, some later recordings made the same evening with no changes to the set-up didn't have this noise/distortion on them.

Weird.
