Re: Advice for starting a large cassette to digital project

1) Once I get a noise profile created, does that profile apply to every recording? Or do I have to create a new profile for each cassettes? The noise profile is very important as it tells the effect which frequencies it should try to remove. If the noise profile does not match the actual noise in t...

Re: Paste clip too large error bug?

When pasting a clip into a measured gap or highlighted section, once in awhile the clip will be too big (by a partial sample maybe). Then what happens beside the error message is that the track opening you're pasting into then closes. I've never seen that myself, or heard of anyone else experiencin...

Re: Export to MP3 sounds nothing like the mix

I tried reducing the bass on Aud effects, but when played back through desk monitors, it sounds gutless. Desktop monitors usually sound gutless. It's impossible to get good bass out of tiny speakers because they can't move enough air (unless you put them right up to your ears, in which case they be...

Re: Why can't I play the output of this file when I pass through the audio codec?

Additionally, some research seems to indicate that DTS-HD is actually a superior format to WAV PCM 16-bit "Superior" in what way? Also, would you mind explaining why the passthrough is equivalent to 16-bit PCM when it says 32-bit float on each track inside Audacity? What do you mean by &q...

Yeah but it would be best if the author made the change in a way that matches the rest of the theme.
Perhaps he likes the high contrast of selected audio. It's certainly very easy to see which audio is selected.
Personally, I think it's good of MarexKai to share his work.

is it truly impossible to use the latest version of FFmpeg with Audacity?
No. Audacity could be updated to use a later version of FFmpeg, but from what I hear from some very experienced developers, it's a big and difficult job. Volunteers are welcome.

Re: How to get broadcast-quality audio into Audacity

My goal is to simply have the audio coming out of the microphone be so good, that I don't even need to run any functions after i'm done recording the books. I'd be very surprised if you can read more than a paragraph without some editing being required, let alone a whole book. Provided that the ori...

Re: Crackling sound when recording from ZOOM H4N

I know this is a super old post, but I thought I'd share what worked for me in case anyone else encounters this problem. I ended up fixing it by changing the buffer length to 10 milliseconds.

If the selection colour could be made less bright, maybe to some lighter but still dark shade of blue, then I would use this theme in a heartbeat.
