Audacity Forum

Thanks so much, Steve! For now, I set up a provisional studio in my bedroom. Sound decent, not as echo-ey as my study. Trickiest part is positioning the pages I need to read and flip in front of the Yeti Mic, which picks up everything. I just inserted markers so I will come back and delete page soun...

I did "Save project as." But then as I go along and make edits, periodically have tried to save again (especially since I have had Audacity crash on me before). "Save Project" is not responding--is grayed out. Seems it gave me the option once to "Save Project" after it had not before and has not sin...

That has been so helpful, knowing the Command for markers. i just finished an hour of recording with tons of markers. Tomorrow I will edit.

Am most grateful for all your support!!!!!

Thanks again, Koz. What comprehensive answers! So, I get it about selecting a portion of noise by itself. Do I need to change the settings below get noise profile? I have not been and just clicking ok. ( Only did this for what my friend called "room noise" between my sentences and it flattens the li...

Forgive me, Steve. But I tried this and still must be missing something. I tried control M again while in recording mode when I made a blooper and didn't see any marker/label, hence no way to find my way back to the spot needing editting. The control B method requires that i stop and in that case i ...

Audacity (2.0.3) on Macbook Pro (OS 10.8.4) A friend showed me how to use the Noise Removal tool to take away "room noise." I could hear the improvement. But when I used it to remove swallowing or some other sound in one spot, then did select all to search for that everywhere in recording, it seemed...

Thanks, anyway, Steve! I will do my best to learn Audacity; sounds like a better more versatile program.

Hi, I am just starting out with recording in Audacity (2.0.3) on a macbook pro (OS X 10.8.4). I will be recording myself reading from a novel, (installments to be sent out by subscription). I want to create best quality I can with what I have which is a Yeti Mic. I would LOVE some tips from anyone f...

Newbie here. (OSX 10.8.4 Audacity 2.0.3) I wonder if someone might give me some tips for optimizing recording environment including set up of the equipment and the space around me. I plan to record myself reading from my novel (which will become a subscription series). I don't expect studio quality ...

If there is a mistake, just add a "marker" label (Ctrl+M, then Enter) while the recording is still running, and say that sentence / paragraph again.

Steve, I tried to insert a label and nothing happens. What am I missing?

(I did see how shift R works...)

Thanks!
