... I've noticed an anomaly where in the gaps between VO passages, the background music level rises un-naturally, which is most noticeable where the VO gaps are short say 5 seconds ... If you use a compressor on the final-mix* that will make the background-music louder when no-one is speaking. Solu...

Kn0cK0ut plugin may be worth a try , but don't get your hopes up.
[ If the voices are simultaneous there will be occasionally be common frequencies within the speech, even though they are in different languages, those sounds will also end up in the "common" result ].

There must be some kind of processing associated with that microphone. Or maybe we're listening to some of the processing you did earlier. I'm hearing a swish sound during "as to whether a mister". I've heard similar swish sounds as a consequence of Noise Reduction, ( although not via Aud...

... converting affirmations into binaural beats? binaural beats are in the range ~0.1Hz to ~20Hz , the bare-minimum to reproduce speech is the range 200Hz - 4000Hz. i.e. it is impossible to convey speech with the limited frequency range possible with binaural-beats. Modulating ultrasound with speec...

I want to do a cover of The music Death by Robot by Feed Me and I want the robot effect too. You'll need a synthesiser , (software or hardware) , to play the melody in a sawtooth waveform.

Audacity's built-in Leveller effect causes obvious distortion , ( people use it as a distortion-effect ). Whereas Steve's Limiter plugin, (which I linked to above), does n...

I can preview and normalize a small section of my recording. However, when I "select all" and try to normalize, nothing happens. Any suggestions? Try a Limiter instead of Normalise : it will knock-down any anomalous loud bits. You can get a Limiter plugin for Audacity here ... http://wiki...

... I'll post how I did it when I get back into the house. No exotic tools. Koz TEST-patched.wav (773.1 KiB) Sounds smoother after Paul-L's De-clicker ... Koz's ''TEST-patched'' , then DeClicked, then the clicks only.wav If only 4 bands are selected on Paul-L's De-clicker the audio is processed in ...

Thanks Trebor How do I do this Solution: increase the release-time, ( aka decay time ), of the gate, and/or increase the threshold of the gate, so that ends of words are not lost. If you're going to use the noise-gate, my suggested settings for the Noise-Gate are highlighted in Yellow on the image ...
