Audacity Forum

Obsessive is good when it comes to making the audio the best it can be, and your suggestions have been on-target and very useful. I'm stuck with the existing mic and the sound booth for now...but there's almost always the opportunity for hope for the future, so we'll see how that goes.

I promised to report back when I finished the audio book and had it accepted. The specific project I was working on when I asked my question is ongoing. However, in the meantime, I recorded a much shorter project, did the adjustments exactly as you suggested, submitted the MP3 to ACX...and was accep...

Did you figure out what you were doing wrong? Part of this exercise is to collect user experiences to help others.

If you play the clip, the annoying whine sound should be gone, or it was when I did it. Now you go back to the top of AudioBook ...

Here it is following my voice. Yes, I hear it loud and clear. Your miracle MosquitoKiller program clears ...

Thank you. You made me sound better than I do in person. >> Are you in the same room with a desktop computer or a loud laptop ? Yes, the computer is running Audacity, and is a Lenovo AIO. I will move my booth further away, at least as far as I can go since I am tethered to the microphone cord. >> Ha...
