Re: Partial Instrument Isolation - I did it! But how?

It is. My email is ***@gmail.com. Send me an email, and I will send you an mp3. I'm aware that these are special mixes of the backing tracks, but there should be a way to remake the same thing again. I have always liked "removing vocals" just to hear some of the things going on in the bac...

Re: how can I make a sample sound like a car pasing or a mot

See Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift - Audacity Manual but you can only set the start and ending pitch, so you'd have to run the effect separately on the audio for the sound that is approaching and the audio for the sound that's receding. It would probably be easier to add a Time Track then control...

Re: Completely New To This

I was hoping to wait until I had all the pieces of hardware in-hand, but this will have to do. I will shortly buy a personal voice recorder similar to the Olympus WS-803. This is a completely self-contained recorder with the ability to tailor the microphone characteristics to record a voice to the ...

Re: Fledgling voice artist seeking counsel.

Rob, I did put up a link to the pictures a few posts back but you must have missed it. The room is 5x5x8. I didn't miss it. I meant it literally because I'm blind. I gather from the text that there are some gaps between the tiles. You don't have to buy a bunch of new ones, it is enough to cluster t...

Re: Completely New To This

As I said, the Audacity2Podcast is an ideal starting point because it covers almost every aspect in wide over 100 shows.
Audacity itself plays a minor part.

Re: Completely New To This

I would contact The RamenNoodle (http://forum.audacityteam.org/memberlis ... le&u=91148)
He has made a lot of instructional podcasts "Audacity2Podcast" and has also another weekly show with a co-host and guests.

Re: recording both ends of a land-line phone conversation

The best way by far is to let both ends record their own voice with Audacity during the call. You share e.g. a drop-box folder and the guest places his track there. Most regular podcast producers rely on this method if the procedure isn't to cumbersome for the guest--it needs some convincing and tes...

Re: Noise when recording stereo-mix

Use Wasapi loopback instead.
The recording is almost bit-perfect.
I don't know, is it available in version 2.0.4 (I'm on 2.0.6 alpha)?
