I went into Audio MIDI Setup and turned down the volume on the track with my softphone. When I re-recorded a voice-response system, I see a different kind of clipping... https://i.imgur.com/rnrFE5h.png As you can see here, the audio is "sawed off" yet it isn't hitting the top of the track. That is s...

Is there ever a time where clipping is acceptable? I assume the answer is "No!" I am playing around with trying to record VoIP calls, where my USB headset is one channel/track and my softphone is the other channel/track. Surprisingly, the softphone track is clipping at a pretty good rate, even thoug...

We do have standards and tools for producing audiobooks. I've said if you can make it through the audiobook sound standards, you're pretty much good to go for any kind of production. They're even a very close sister to broadcast standards (having had to meet both). Wow! Thread has more branches in ...

Do you lose anything saving to .wav versus keeping the raw Audacity files? Not quite the point. Audacity doesn't save sound files. It creates and saves Projects. Projects are collections of files and folders (that's one Project) suitable for recreating the editing environment later. That is, in a p...

That's a major benefit in using a popular public platform like YouTube. It's quick to set up, there are few security issues to worry about, it's all set up for comments, and when you are thoroughly embarrassed by your early attempts you can delete them without messing up your website. Be aware thou...

Hi Koz! Wow, this is turning out to be a crazy place - but fun nonetheless. (Sort of a cross between "Mama Told Me Not to Come" and "I Had Too Much to Dream last Night"!!) :lol: That is good advice! That's why he's a senior elf. I don't get the robe and fuzzy slippers. I still impressed by you, eith...

macOS Sierra Audacity v2.2.2 Audacity is set to record on 3 Channels. When I open a new project and hit "Record" the 3 Tracks that Audacity creates to map to the 3 Channels I am recording are really tiny. https://i.imgur.com/KpYSyLU.png (I find this strange, because before I added a 3rd channel, whe...

Almost didn't see this response?! :o but what is the *quickest* way Make a podcast about a popular subject, put it on YouTube and any other free hosting that you can find, and leave the comments open. I don't have enough hours in the day to do all of this, BUT I have a website that I am finishing up...

Have a thought about your target audience. "Everybody" is probably not going to be interested in your work. For a reality check, Google your topic. Yes, my primary "target audience" is moms (and families). Do you follow other people's podcasts? How long are they? The forum gets postings from people...

I showed up at the front door of the camper one dark and stormy night, skinny and malnourished with my fur all matted. They took me in, gave me a bath, a proper meal and a strong, pot-brewed mug of tea. I've been here ever since. As you may know, Audacity is developed in a camper on the south-west ...
