Audacity Forum

You can download it here: It is preferable to attach the file to the post rather than adding an external link. If at some time in the future the web address of the theme file changes, or you move the file, or your github page gets hacked, or ..., this forum topic becomes useless because the file wi...

Try selecting the first 20 minutes of the recording and exporting that with "File menu > Export > Export Selected Audio..." Does that work? If it does, then you could try exporting other sections. My guess is that there will be one small bit somewhere in the middle that has some kind of da...

nothing works

Does that mean:

You get exactly the same error as before?
You get a different error?
Nothing visibly happens at all when you try to launch Audacity?
Something else?

As a performer eager to close on that beach house, I'd like to publish the -65 value and go make coffee. :) Hence my comment that this code is not good for advertising purposes. "Oh yes, and this amp has a noise floor of -140 dB (A-weighted with the input shorted) " I think what's botheri...

It seems that the manufacturer's missed a trick. If they had designed it so that it could be turned down lower, then that would probably have solved it for you. Given that they didn't do that, I agree that you need to use a different microphone. A dynamic microphone, such as a Sure SM58 (and most ot...

Can we assume there's no way this is ever going to see the room tone at the beginning and end of an audiobook chapter? It does see the room tone at the start, but it sees and analyzes the rest of the track as well. Consider the case of a rubbish recording with a noise floor around -40 dB. The user ...

And your SSD got warm. :D Not noticeably. I think I had you right up to (5). Is that a typo? You picked the highest of the low points in each chunk? It's not a typo. Say that you have a track that is 1 minute 30 seconds. That's 3 chunks. Now say that the first chunk has a noise floor of -64 dB, the...

I zoomed in on a couple of clicks and saw that the spikes were quite broad (low frequency), so I tried a quick test with the "Low Roll-off for Speech" preset. That preset is designed to remove as much low frequency as possible without damaging speech. It made an improvement, but only about...

So the gain knob on the mic seems to work.

How low will it go? With your voice, can turn it down so far that the waveform becomes a flat line?

@yogada8498 It would be better if you answered questions from your experience rather than just quoting from articles found on the Internet. Most of the points in your previous post are either incorrect, or require qualification. For example "sensitivity" does not necessarily equate to &quo...
