Gotcha, yeah the objective would be to apply this process (the to the entire audio file (20-50 min each) and to about 15 of them (its for a course). I want to have it sound consistent all the way through. The Speech Level effect should help with that. I just wish I knew about that before I applied t...

Thanks a bunch! This seemed to work OK in small scale tests. If I have already applied a RMS normalize (then a limiter) to meet ACX standards, can I then apply the level speed, RMS normalize, then limiter (the last two would be repeated). Or would this have the potential to mess the audio up? The is...

Is there a way to normalize across sentences? For the example file, there are 3 sentences separated by gaps (effective silence). However, the middle sentence is at a lower volume. For reference, the picture is in "Waveform (DB)" mode). When I use the "RMS Normalize" effect on the entire clip, it doe...

Here is a zoomed out view of the waveform (about a half second). I highlighted the general range and you can't see anything off at this level. The affected waveform is only about 1000th of a second and its not really a "spike". You have to really zoom in to even see something is off. Regarding the s...

I don't think it is a dropout. Here is a snapshot of the waveform before and after the repair. You can see something gets weird in the before, which translates to a click. But you have zoom in real close to even see it...it is just 0.0009 seconds long and there is not associated spike, so it can't b...

I have some "light" clicks that are not easily spotted in the waveform (have to zoom in real close). The "Click Removal" effect is not able to get rid of them. The "Repair" effect can (they are very short), but it is very time consuming to identify the "broken" waveform and would not be practical to...

Or...what about an option for it to say continuously say "Paused" when recording has been paused.

Hmmm, there are a variety of USB lights. Would it be possible to just power a given USB port on/off when recording/paused?

Yup, I apply a series of Effects after recording (de-clicker, de-esser, noise reduction, noise gate, etc.). The audio sounds really professional in the end. But I need to take breaks during recording. Sometimes I go in and of the booth. Sometimes I stay in but just take some deep breaths. Sometimes ...

I have a vocal booth with a single window for the teleprompter. I also have a computer with Audacity to record on that is outside of the booth. I use a joystick to toggle the record state on/off (allows for breaks and such) using the pause keyboard shortcut. However, I is there a way (or can there b...
