Re: Correcting "Wind Phasing"

I'm interested in removing "Wind Phasing" from outdoor concert recordings. As I understand it, gusty wind degrades the high frequency content, giving a dull sound if you're not talking about the effects of "wind blast", then how does the weather affect the recording? Are you rec...

Re: Installing Audacity

The only instruction I haven't carried out is to add "WxGTK 3.0" " libwxgtk3.0-dev " MUST be installed before you can build Audacity. The "hard" part of this is getting you build environment set up (the instructions before the "Build Audacity" steps). Once th...

Did step 4 end with an error?
Did you follow all of the instructions in that post that come before "Build Audacity"?

Re: new computer: Audacity adds a high-pitch noise to playb

OK, I can hear (and see) the difference between the two versions. I do not hear the "high pitch noise" when I play the "orig G A A# rifflet 8-bars in MicroRock #17 Black Bax ctrpan.mp3" file in Audacity. Some of this may already be covered, but I can't scroll down very far while ...

Re: Slim down the Click Track interface

I experimented with tempos above 300 bpm, but in practice it becomes meaningless - you start hearing the first beat as "the beat" and the other beats as "divisions of the beat". " 1 234 1 234 1 234 1 234" played very fast sounds like: " 1 .... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ...&quo...

Re: Correcting "Wind Phasing"

The effect you describe is basically a "multi-band compressor". The phenomenon that you describe is due to "auto gain control" (AGC) in the recording device fighting with sudden blasts of low frequency noise. The "fix" is to dramatically cut those sub-sonic blasts when ...

Re: recording @ 128kbps

Audacity does not record as MP3. Audacity records as very high quality uncompressed PCM audio. To get an MP3 out of Audacity you must Export the audio from the Audacity project to create an MP3 file. If you are using the current version of Audacity (2.1.2), then when you select MP3 as the export for...

Re: MP3 to Audacity - Then Export to ???

what would've been a great feature is if Audacity kept the file as the MP3 and bit rate you used. And then there was an option to "export at original quality" Sadly, the only editing that is possible (by any program) of MP3s without decoding them first is very basic editing (such as trimm...
