Re: Clipping or Distortion on Vocal High Notes of Ripped Aud

Hi Koz, Thanks for both of your suggestions. I will burn Kathleen Battle and also try your other "Amplify" suggestion. If Battle sounds bad on that stereo, then I'll know that it's the culprit. I used "0" normalization, initially, due to an Audacity You Tube video that I had seen. I thought that it ...

Re: Clipping or Distortion on Vocal High Notes of Ripped Aud

Bill/Steve/Koz/WC: Thanks for the info. I'm learning, that's for sure. LOL I did send the 6 second clip to another email account of mine and it did "appear" just as you said it would. Should have thought about that before asking you guys. I do hope that my car CD player is the problem because then, ...

Re: Clipping or Distortion on Vocal High Notes of Ripped Aud

Steve, What will be "showing" if I post this clip to the Forum? I mean, when I uploaded the clip my name was in the "Browse" box along with the name of the song, etc. I don't really want that and don't know how to change it. You know "Users/Name Name/Porgi Amor/etc." I want help, but want to keep my...

Re: Clipping or Distortion on Vocal High Notes of Ripped Aud

Steve, Sure, I could do that if you tell me how to accomplish this! I've never uploaded audio to a social networking site or to even my own, work-in-progress, website as yet. It's almost finished, with an Audio & Video Clip page but I haven't as yet, uploaded any audio to it due to my current predic...

Re: Clipping or Distortion on Vocal High Notes of Ripped Aud

Hi Koz! Thanks for getting back to me. You're funny! LOL Yes, I do have a 10 year old CD/radio/tape player in my 10 year old Honda Accord. But! There is no distortion when I play my CD collection on it. So, why am I having such problems with my CD is the question still to be answered. 1. The videos ...

Re: Clipping or Distortion on Vocal High Notes of Ripped Aud

Hi Whomper! Thanks for your response. I had already normalized the DVD audio at (0). The volume I listen to my CD's at in my car is usually in the midpoint, sometimes higher, but the distortion plays at midpoint as well as higher. I did try it on some laptops and stereo systems at Best Buy. It alway...

Re: Clipping or Distortion on Vocal High Notes of Ripped Aud

Hi Steve! I had to delete the entire DVD audio because I didn't have much room on my little Mac at the time, but I've just purchased an external hard drive, and can always rip it again with MPEG Streamclip. I do have the original .aup files saved to a flash drive though. The input volume was at the ...

Re: Clipping or Distortion on Vocal High Notes of Ripped Aud

Hi Steve, The live concerts were originally video taped and I took those tapes to a local professional lab to have them converted into a DVD. There was no distortion on the DVD, that I can hear. I then ripped the audio using MPEG Streamclip and edited the individual songs in Audacity. Some back stor...

Clipping or Distortion on Vocal High Notes of Ripped Audio

Hi Brilliant Tech Guys and Fellow Musicians, Can anyone tell me what one does when you rip audio successfully from a DVD, use Audacity to edit it beautifully except for the high notes that still have some clipping or distortion? According to Audacity, there was no clipping (red lines) during the edi...

Re: Amplifying Vocal Track

Thanks Trebor,

I have a Mac though, so can I still use Windows Plug-Ins??? I'll check it out and find out.

I appreciate you taking the time to get back to me with my query.
