What is LAME... If you are exporting the files in WAV format forget about LAME : it's an mp3 format thing. I go to Amplify, set the db level at 2.0 and allow clipping because in my recording there seems to be enough room to allow that db. but when I go back to amplify it shows the db level at -2.8....

"Truncate silence" should be able to do that automagically ... http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tr ... lence.html.

... However when I export the song from Audacity to Windows Media Player (Windows 7) the sound is not as "crisp" as it sounded in Audacity ... If you exported from Audacity as mp3 then filters can be applied by LAME depending on the kbps rate, which can cut the high frequencies : high [cr...

What then would explain why the recording appears to lose brightness? Could just be my hearing as well as i worked on this for a fair bit of time. Did ask another party to listen to each waveform though, before and after and they agreed that the waveform I worked on appeared to lose 'brightness'. I...

Let's say I have a clip of me talking. Or a music clip, if that helps. Let's say I also have a short sound, like a clap, or just me saying "la". Is there any way I can somehow take the rhythm of the first clip, and have it played with repetitions of the second clip? Like, if the first cli...

Using a noise-gate with a 100-200ms decay will emulate the squelching effect of an actual radio transmission : where the hiss persists for a fraction of a second after the person stops speaking, then there is true silence until they speak again.

You've picked an impossible-task as your first job. Damage-limitation is possible by simply cut ting out the worst bit (about 1/50th of a second) , however the metal ping noise rings for about 1/5th of a second, which is too long to just cut-out of the time-line , notch-filter s are required to remo...

... but what I can't get is the static hiss that accompanies it. It sounds like quantization noise ... Dubya, before-after , EQ then Steve's Quantization distortion @85.wav Steve made a distortion plugin for Audacity which includes a "quantization" option, that plugin can be downloaded fr...

... You might want to normalize the individual tracks to 0dB or some lower volume before mixing. That should minimize the variations you get from tapping slightly harder or softer ... Adjusting the relative volume levels of different tracks does not affect Audacity's collective frequency analysis [...

It's interference : the 1000Hz + harmonics from the computer's power supply , and in your case an additional +/- 120Hz component from the second harmonic of your mains electricity ( 60Hz) ... 1000Hz+harmonics, and smaller + & - 120Hz peaks either side.png There is a fix for the "1000Hz + ha...
