Re: Single Wave from a voice

Just one second of a voice recording contains literally thousands of bits of data. To simplify that down enough to create a nice tattoo you need an "artist's impression" of the sound rather than the actual sound. Perhaps you could get a recording of them saying just one or two words, perha...

Re: Stereo to mono, track goes chipmunky

... It's recorded as a stereo track. When I attempt to convert it to mono the length of the track shrinks by approximately 2/3rds, and everyone goes to sounding like they're talking in chipmunk. Does anyone have any insight into what might be going on here? Assuming that the original stereo track d...

Re: Balancing levels

Correct me, but loud noise/hearing hazard measurements are all in "A". Often the case yes, but that's due to the proliferation of A-weighted meters rather than because A-weighted is the best measure. C-weighting is actually a better measure for loud noise, and D weighting for extreme nois...

Re: Balancing levels

A simulates the lumpy characteristics of human hearing. C is more or less flat. A-weighting simulates the lumpy characteristics of human hearing for low level noise (which is what it was intended for). As can be seen from the equal loudness contour , the "lumpiness" is much more pronounce...

Re: Amplify fade-in/out

I think what Lee is asking for is pretty reasonable. I agree it's not unreasonable, so I've made a plug-in for the job. amplifywithfade.ny The fade occurs at the start and end of the selection (inside the selection) as plug-ins can only process audio that is selected. The fade duration is 10 ms by ...

Re: RMS Normalize

I downloaded the rmsnormalize.ny plug-in and placed in the plug-ins folder within the Audacity folder in the Program Files directory. However, it does not show up in the Effect menu when I open the Audacity application. Which version of Windows? Which version of Audacity? (look in "Help > Abou...

I believe that the auto-response comes from [email protected], so it's worth adding that address to your email "white-list" so that it doesn't get mislabelled as spam.

Re: Spacebar to start play sometimes doesn't work

I've not noticed the problem here (but I'm not on Windows 10).
Are you sure it's not just your spacebar sticking a bit?
Does the problem happen if you click the Play button?
Are you able to change the shortcut to a different key to see if the problem still occurs?
