The recording volume is actually set quite low. Even around 0.3 I still had a loud hiss.
Check in the Windows Sound control panel and ensure that "boost" is NOT enabled for the RODE Podcaster.

Re: Terrible hiss since upgrading to Windows 10

"AUP" files are part of an Audacity project (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/audacity_projects.html) An AUP file contains no audio and cannot be played. The "Noise.mp3" file has some noticeable noise but I suspect that is just because the recording level is very high. &q...

Re: "Plot Spectrum" Enhancements

A 10 kHz sine tone: Full Window000.png Yes I know that I've set the FFT Size to 2048, but so what? Why is that more than a trivial detail? The grid resizes dynamically as the window is resized. This has to use compromises so that there is room for the text. If you are not satisfied with Audacity's (...

Re: Need a guide on how to use the LAME Encoder in Audacity

LAME is built into Audacity 2.4.2. It is used automatically when you export as MP3 ("File menu > Export > Export as MP3").

Information about the available settings here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/mp3 ... tions.html

Re: Failing ACX check because Noise floor is TOO low. Need help!

Someone suggested adding Brownian Noise I don't think that's a good idea. I can 100% guarantee that there will be noise mixed in with your voice, because there always is. That noise should be continuous and constant throughout the recording. The whole point of ACX's noise floor specification is to ...

Re: Saving problems

There are two parts to an Audacity project. The ".aup" file, and a "_data" folder. The audio data for the project is in the "_data" folder. The two parts must stay together, just as they are when you save the project. If you move or delete the "_data" folder, ...

Re: Discord :Craig: Audacity files won't open

the Audacity program keeps giving me the error message that the file is and Audacity file and must be opened with the Open>File command. It does not. I don't understand what you are trying to say. Please describe: 1. What exactly you are doing. 2. What exactly is happening (including the full and e...

It would also be great to get a combined view where the waveform overlays the spectrogram.
Audacity 2.4.2 has "multi-view" https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/multi_view.html

What would be the benefit of overlaying the two views?
