Audacity Forum

For example, if one audio has speech that is "H e l l o" and the received audio has "H <noise> l l o". If these audio files were looked into in a wave form, the noise will show as a big spike. I want to catch that and similar like no audio or missing audio etc. I hope I made som...

Whem I move the mouse over the yellow button, it shows "()"; "Stop" would be much better. By default, the spacebar is used for both play and stop. Optionally (in keyboard preferences), separate keyboard shortcuts may be set for Play and Stop, but by default, these key bindings a...

The most intuitive thing would be if that new control in your image was a dropdown that changed with the format selected to contain the options for that format. That would work well if e.g. for Other uncompressed files we were able to add both Header and Encoding menus. However some of the controls...

You may need to describe exactly what you are trying to do. Labels are saved in the Audacity project. Labels are not included in exported files.

I have two audio files, for example ingress.wav and egress.wav. How can I compare these two files to see if the contents in them are similar. What sort of similarity are you looking for? Obviously it is easy to compare the length of the two files, and the peak amplitude. It's not much more difficul...

Any takers to educate me on how I can improve things? Can you wait a few weeks until the new year? I've been testing the alpha version of the new Noise Reduction effect which I've slightly modified, and in my tests it is producing much better results that the Noise Removal effect that is currently ...

What is the difference between unweighted and A-weighted, A-weighted is supposed to give a better indication of how "loud" low level noise sounds. It is popular with manufacturers and sales teams because it is always a lot lower than unweighted (Z-weighted / zero-weighted). What it does i...

Here you go, thanks again. Two Words.wav The noise level during the "silence" is around -60 dB unweighted, -67 dB A-weighted, which is about normal for a USB mic. If you had a louder speaking voice, then you would be able to turn down the recording level on the G-Track, which would also r...

If you have doubts about the best order of specific effects, feel free to ask.

in this example the solution is to use Amplify and Noise Removal... does it matter which is used first? I'm guessing that the order is irrelevant, In that specific case I would expect the order to be irrelevant to the final result, though the optimal settings for noise reduction may be slightly dif...
