... the reason I have him down is because occasionally he accidentally blows on his wireless mic or saliva hits it or something and it makes a loud sound. It's hard to explain but I could easily find a clip of it if you wanted to hear. Maybe the "loud sound" is sibilance , which is treata...

Is audacity capable of stripping a song apart? I am trying to figure out if this can delete or cut out just certain components of a song, such as the drums. I am not trying to cut out just the vocals or have vocals only, but am looking to see if this can dissect an mp3 into individual tracks, such ...

My examples can all be run by typing, or copy/paste directly into a terminal window. The final example would ...

Ogg Vorbis is a lossy codec, that means it "damages" the show for reducing the file size. Lossy formats are good for final delivery, specially if you're going to share it on the internet, because of its reduced file size, but in the middle stages of audio processing you should always use l...

If you apply the amplify effect with the default options it will amplify the sound so that the new peak will be 0dB, this is the maximum you should have, above that you get distortion.
