Audacity Forum

SAVING THE FILE Do you mean "Saving the Audacity Project " or " Exporting an audio file"? Note that an Audacity Project is not just one file. It is a file AND a folder. Example, if you save a project as "my-project", Audacity will create a file called "my-project....

Unfortunately, the options for improving very noisy recordings are quite limited (this is why professionals use expensive microphones close to the person speaking, and do everything in their power to minimise background noise). You can safely cut out very low and very high frequencies using the Equa...

It is normal (unavoidable) for there to be some amount of hiss when recording. The main part of the job when dealing with hiss, is to minimise it in the recording. All audio hardware creates some hiss. Cheap equipment will usually produce more hiss than expensive professional equipment. To minimise ...

You will need to ask your client about their specifics. I know that in some cases they have very precise specifications for the file format, duration, peak and RMS levels ... that are "required" by the hardware / software that they use.

Yes this is a bug. It is already logged on the Audacity bug tracker. The bug appears to be, at least in part, due to Windows "helpfully" restoring the folder (the issue does not occur on Mac or Linux), so the developers will need to find a way to work around the problem.

We prefer one forum topic per question, as that makes the topic much less confusing, and more useful for other Audacity users that are looking for answers.

I don't think there is a "standard" way to create IVR messages, though I believe that they are normally recorded without music, and music is added later if required. The best thing to do is to speak to your client and ask them to give you a brief / specification of what they require.

Could you post in a higher quality format, for example as a FLAC file. The forum should allow up to about 25 seconds in FLAC format before you hit the file size limit. I don't think that you need to, or "should" apply lots of compression as that will kill the dynamics in your playing. The ...

And yes, at least in a Windows environment, you can simply move the Audacity.exe and the required wxbase311* and wxmsw311* DLLs into an existing installation directory, and everything works swell. To make it properly portable across other Windows machines, you should also include msvcp140.dll , vcr...

It's not clear what your question is now that your original question has been answered: Projects have two parts, an ".AUP" file and a "_data" folder. The "_data" folder contains the audio data (lots of little ".AU" files organised in sub-folders - don't mess w...
