Re: Removing (editing) commercials from soundtrack

These were the ones I was thinking of.

Re: Removing (editing) commercials from soundtrack

If all you are doing is cutting chunks out of existing MP3s thaen there are better tools than Audacity for that precise task which will operate directly on your MP3 file (so noe extra MP3 compression damage will occur. Off the top of my head I can't remember the tools that have been recommended in t...

Re: Removing (editing) commercials from soundtrack

Yes you do need LAME - and that's because Audacity is working in its own Project File format, it is not directly editing your MP3. And note carefully that this will add further MP3 compression damage and the way out via LAME. But why is the original file in MP3 format? I thought that you were using ...

Re: Customizing the Effects drop-down menu

My version of the Feature Request is to be able to assign Hot Keys ad lib to the effects you wish. I, too use the same effects over and over and I got really good at swishing up and down the list with my mouse. I can tell you exactly the arm motion I need to get to Chris's Compressor. Me too - and ...

Re: Tips on Cleaning Up (or "Fixing") Bad Recordings

... for every additional effect that is used, the original signal quality can take a loss. So A good point and worth reminding folk. When I do my LP captures the only processing I do is to remove clicks and pops, clean the inter-track gaps with fade-in/out/silence and amplification to -3dB. I prefe...

Re: Recording problem

red bars are the clipping indicators - so a full red block means that you have a heavily oversaturated signal. Does your ION TT have a gain control (volume control). The ION iTTUSB that I used to have did have one but it was in an un-obvious and inconvenient place - underneath at the back. If it doe...
