Re: Record sound from Soundcloud

You can download directly from SoundCloud ... http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 14#p221514

Re: Professional Echo Settings In Audacity

Bollywood is very keen on reverb ... https://youtu.be/9oJOzvHyS_k?t=2m1s
There are plenty of free reverb plugins which can be used in Audacity.
e.g "antress modern spacer" plugin can easily produce strong reverb effects , or "Anwida DX lite" reverb plugin.

Re: Subtracting one audio track from another

Simply subtracting the MP3 from the WAV, even reconverting the MP3 to a WAV (freezing in the losses) and subtracting via Audacity doesn't seem to produce the "ghost" effect ... To get the tracks in-sync you will have to zoom-in , and use the time-shift tool ... http://forum.audacityteam.o...

Re: Interview guest audio is too loud

... If I do record and it's too loud/hot...is there a way to fix it while editing? I tried compressing it. It lowered the overall volume, but not the peaking distorted sound. low-pass equalization can make the distorted-audio less-harsh. Something like the "am radio" equalization-curve pr...

Re: lower signal level (volume) after GSnap in Audacity

... However, the signal level of my waveform after processing is much lower (see screenshots); if I'm reading the meter correctly, it's around 5 dB lower. My old version of Gsnap doesn't do that.

Re: low resonance in live recording

On a live recording, there's a resonance in the room, PA, etc that sounds like a peak in the low mids when the singer hits that tone. Using Audacity 2.0.3, I'd like to EQ that peak out. I'm thinking I'd need to watch a spectrum display at the particular point in the recording where the "woof&q...
