Re: Audacity 2.1.1 fails to import/export projects and wav/m

1) The project never can be opened again in Audacity. The SW tells me everytime that "XYZ.aup is an Audacity Project file. Use the File > Open command..." (which is exactly what I do!!!) The menus in Audacity have been rearranged over the years. Please double check that you are using &quo...

Re: Improving a (faint) recording of a talk from original

The main problem is the "other" voice ("Yes, I do"). That voice is so low down in the noise floor that there is no way to separate it from the noise without badly distorting the voice. Similar to cyrano, I would amplify by about 40 dB, then use Noise Reduction. Don't expect to be...

Re: RMS Normalize

How close is Make-ACX ? Apply all the filters and corrections needed to force a submission into ACX Compliance. I think that we've got most of the components now haven't we?

Re: Very-nice [free] VST plugins from Voxengo

Re: Automatic Repair for Cuts and Inserts

Re: Insert Something At Beginning of Audacity File

What is the "something" that you want to add to the beginning? If it is "silence" or a generated sound, then you may be a suitable plug-in that you could use in a Chain (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/chains_for_batch_processing_and_effects_automation.html). If it's a recor...
