Audacity Forum

It is so rustic it needs a new roof! Fortunately this is on the eaves, not yet above the closet. :D This winter it's time for a new tarp. But it is a breathtaking spot - feeds the soul. It's actually been lovelier here than ever, so quiet. Thank you again for your help! I just installed the de-hum p...

OK, yes, just got this - will abort the update. Yes, I can breathe in the closet but it's getting dicier as I add fabric - now I'm a little nervous! :D I live on a ridge in Big Sur, California, have been here 20+ years. This is the latest in my gig economy endeavors due to high risk factors during t...

Wow, this is so cool! Thank you! Hum removal is in the current Audacity or do you recommend upgrading to the latest version? Yes, I'm in the US and of course that means we have both weird hums in our houses and want the latest and greatest - just kidding. I live on a mountain and it's extremely quie...

OK, here is a clip in the format you requested. Thank you for your time and expertise.

Yes, these tools helped enormously, but I still didn't pass ACX QA - (extraneous sounds and incorrect spacing at beginning and end of clips) I have created a better space to record in and have figured out ...

Mac OS 10.13.2 High Sierra I have been learning as I go (aka hacking) the mastering process for my recorded book, which I plan to submit to Audible. Is there a place here in the forum where I can learn about the best techniques for this? I have been using the Filter - rolloff for voice, RMS normaliz...

Why can't I select the external usb microphone in the audacity program itself? Is it necessary to do so in order to use the external mic with Audacity? WhenI go to system prefs on my mac, running High Sierra 10.13.2 and plug in the mic then the input is set up as DGT650. However Audacity says I'm us...

Hello dear forum - I have recorded all the chapters of my book, using latest Audacity, etc. When I check RMS level (peak level and noise floor is fine) I get a message saying decibels are -24.5 instead of -23.5. My question is - how do I reset the RMS on recorded files? Thank you so much. Be safe. L...
