Re: Buzzing - removal advice, please

Of course it would be much better if you could reduce the noise at source, but working with what we have. The first thing that I notice is that the recording volume is very low, (could it have been recorded louder), so we will use the "Normalize" effect and normalise to -1dB Now select a s...

Re: Record stops after 0.6 seconds. [Solved]
