Re: Audacity 2.1.0 RC1 vs 2.1.0 RC2

"RC" is an abbreviation of "release candidate". During development, the experimental builds are called "alpha". When the time comes for a new release, the most recent alpha build will be tested, and and fixed up to remove bugs or features that are 'just not ready yet' t...

Re: re: recording in higher quality than when exporting...

USB microphones are the ones that occasionally suffer from Frying Mosquitoes for which there is no known convenient cure. I wonder if they'll figure out how to get away from that someday. It mostly comes down to price and size. USB preamps tend to have better noise rejection on the power supply tha...

Re: Spectrogram color pallet

Is there a way to edit the color pallet? The colour pallet is written into the code and is not user selectable other than the standard colours / greyscale option. Also, what is the definition of the gray scale pallet (ie dB/step, n shades of gray). Black represents the most intensity and lighter sh...

Many people say that AM silent subliminals don't work either.

Re: noise removal option fails to get noise profile

when the person who is asking the question does not have a microphone, his/her voice looks like a whispered voice. I can not transcribe the questions when the quality is so low. I was hoping to be able to understand their questions by Audacity. Unfortunately, if the quality is that bad then there i...

Re: noise removal option fails to get noise profile

Probably the easiest solution would be to re-record and ask the person to speak more clearly and closer to the microphone. Please note that we do not offer an audio forensics service for uncovering hidden audio or recovering seriously damaged recordings. For that type of job, look for an "audio...

Re: A few questions re headphones for audio book recording..

The ACX website linked to an ACX Beginners Wish List that included a pair of Sony MDR7506 Professional Large Diaphragm Headphones. 1. How critical a piece of equipment are headphones? $84.95 sounded a little pricey to me, at least until I saw another site that recommended headphones starting at $12...
