Audacity Forum

It appears that the noise is dominating the track That is usually a sign of no hope. Low level constant noise can usually be reduced quite effectively, but where the voice is buried beneath the noise there is often no way to dig it out. Also there is a radio in the background playing. That is usual...

I did notice the Audacity program sent with this device wasn't updated so I reinstalled that one and added the most current program Good. The recommended version of Audacity is the official release version, which is currently 2.0.5. The latest version is always available (free) from: http://audacit...

Im using Audacity to change the pitch for some songs, now Im unable to detect the tuning frequency, or standard (concert) pitch of the input signal. A song does not have "a frequency", it has a wide range of frequencies. To find the "tuning frequency" you need to find somewhere ...

Why so, if user is prepared just to delete those sections, and was forced to figure out and enter the correct selection ranges themselves? It's about customising settings to work for specific audio streams. We already have a number of general tools (such as Silence Finder and Regular Interval Label...

The amp probably uses generic USB audio drivers, in which case it should work with Audacity. The product documentation also says: Record out via USB To run into iPad or iPad mini connect via a Camera USB adaptor, PC/MAC connects via standard A-B USB cable, for use with the likes of Garage Band, Auda...

as far as I know there is no Nyquist plug-in that deletes multiple arbitrary selections (as opposed to a specified selection at the start and the end of a track). Steve would know better if such a plug-in has been written or tested yet. It would be possible for some on-line radio streams, to automa...

As to mp3, I am always given this advice. My old ears can't hear the difference between a wav or flac and mp3, The problem is not so much that encoding to MP3 causes the sound quality to be terrible, on the contrary a well encoded MP3 file can be almost indistinguishable from the original. The prob...

Most decent microphones will have their specifications published in the product documentation. The two figures that are relevant are SNR (signal to noise ratio) and "Sensitivity" (size of signal for given sound input). If a microphone has low sensitivity (produces a small signal for a give...

CBR MP3 encoding can only be at certain bit rates (8, 16, 24, ..., 320).
I don't know why "Get Info" reports the bit rate as 127 kbps. I'd guess it is a bug in "Get Info".

I you record "silence" and then look at the spectrogram view, the colouration of the track indicates the background noise.
Are you wanting a numerical value of some kind?
