Re: Removal of vocals

The vocal remover removes sounds that are exactly in the centre of the stereo mix. If the vocal is off centre or if there are stereo effect on the voice, then it will not work. If the recording is mono it will not work. If other sounds are also dead centre in the mix, they will also be removed. Ster...

Re: Making a voice sound robotic?

It sounds like multiple effects on that voice. To achieve a reasonable mimicking of the voice you will need someone that can do a reasonable impersonation of the voice before you start adding effects.

Re: Recording with JACK and a USB recording device in Audaci

I'm glad this came up because I've not used Quod Libet since I installed Debian, and I really like this little player, so now ...

Re: Residual channel noise

On Windows you should be able to switch off system sounds. Exactly how to do that varies depending on which version of Windows, but the settings can be found in the Windows Control Panel. If you record from Stereo Mix and you want to avoid recording system sounds such as alerts and incoming mail, it...

Re: Recs on how to compress

The "harshness" is caused by distortion. The dynamic compressor can't fix that. Try first applying the Amplify effect with New Peak amplitude: -1 (minus one) Then apply the "Low Pass filter". Try setting it at: Rolloff: 48 dB Cutoff: 2000 (the filter quality setting only applies ...

Re: Recording with JACK and a USB recording device in Audaci

It was a good theory. Unfortunately the theory was wrong :( What is happening in that screenshot is exactly what should be happening. If I were to see all of the screenshots that you have posted without the knowledge that it is recording from your internal mic rather than the USB, I would say that i...

Just looking at this bit: ;; Test the file path (which may be the home directory or a user-defined path). ;; If there is no / (or ) at the end of the path, we need to add one so that the screen display looks right. ;; To do this, we add one anyway, then search for // (or \). ;; Depending on the resu...
