Audacity Forum

I’m having a problem with getting a good microphone recording level in Audactiy. I have a Rode NT1-A mic, a Behringer UMC204HD interface and a new iMac 21.5 desktop. In the Mac, mic input is set to USB and the level is all the way up, I am getting a signal that is a little more than half way when I ...

I'm happy to say I'm not like most people. Everything you mentioned I had already done. The mic input in the iMac is set to USB and the level is all the way up. When I speak into the microphone the level goes up a little past half way. On the Behringer, the Gain knob is set to just the point before ...

Hey Mr Koz, As always, thanks for all the great info. I'm going to have to bone up on all the terminology, because It's all a little confusing. I do have other questions, and some answers to your questions, but for now I have a problem. When I try to record my voice into Audacity, the level is so lo...

I'm not sure what my niche is going to be. I'm not sure reading audio books will be for me. I'm not a book reader, that is I'm not a person who likes to curl up if front of a fire and read a good book. I don't have the attention span for that. But maybe if I look at it as a job that could pay well, ...

Thanks again for all your help. I have a tendency to over think things, but I’m going to get something together this week. I will put together a recording and post it here. I would welcome your opinion on the quality of the sound and my voice. I had ordered shipping blankets from Ebay, but for some ...

I'm embarrassed to say that I did purchase what I thought was acoustic foam from Ebay. But now that you mentioned it, it's just packing foam (death, where is thy sting), but won't that at least work for the short term? It would at least stop the reflective sound of hard surfaces. I like your ideas o...

Hey Koz, First of all, thank you for sticking with me and your advice. Can I assume that your a voiceover actor? Maybe audio book narration? My decision to pursue voiceover acting wasn’t done lightly. I gave it a lot of thought. Since then I have googled and YouTubed all about it, and I have learned...

Wow! If you hear a loud sonic boom, that would be my mind being blown with all the great info and help I’m getting here! Very helpful and very much appreciated! I’ll let you know how it goes.

Thank you!

Thank you Bill! I will give that a try. You guys are great! This is the first time I’ve ever used a forum, and this has helped a lot. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Thanks again,
Christian

Thank you for the response Koz! I was not aware that they are native mono. I was thinking about sending the Behringer back and getting the Scarlett, but thanks to you I won’t be making that mistake now lol. Shouldn’t a voiceover be in stereo? I mean, with a mono won’t your voice come out one side in...
