Re: Best voice sound settings

Susan, from following your link, it soulds to me as though Trebor is right on the money - and you are indeed over-compressing your MP3s, so try a higher bitrate. Also the signal soulds a little oversaturated - are you fetting clipping when you record - i.e. does the recording level meter go all the ...

Re: Storing a recording onto HD

I do this by assigning my track labels thus: 01 <track_name_1>, 02 <track_name_2> etc. This then leaves them in the right order for a CD burn - and when I import the WAVs into iTunes (for conversion into AAC) then I just use the iTunes tag editor to remove the 01, 02 etc. from the song titles and ad...

Re: Can I feature audacity in an educational TV programme?

I would suggest sending a PM to Gale Andrews (one of the Developer team who visits these boards fairly regularly).

In the meantime you can read about the licensing restrictions on Audacity use in the Audacity site here: http://audacityteam.org/about/license

Re: Need help with iCONNEX, natch!

Sorry, your wife is not correct. Many CD players will NOT play CDs that have MP3s on them - PCs will, and some specially enabled CD players will. You need to have WAV files exported at 44.1kHz 16-bit stereo (the Red Book standard for CDs) to pass to CD burning software to burn a music CD. See this a...

Re: Noise removal

I started out my vinyl migration withan ION iTTUSB - I finally gave up on it and relegated it to the attic as it was giving me far too much wow and flutter. Instead I resurrected my older Technics deck out of the attic, gave it a good service and treated it to a new cartridge. Plugged to to PC via a...

Re: Noise removal

Ray, I started out using manual repairs in 1.2 by redrawing bad waveforms (need to zoom well in) - and in 1.3 I used the Repair effect. But eventually gave up the manual approach as it was too time consuming. Instead, follwing a steer from Koz, I expolored and bought an excellent little piece of sof...

Re: saved files as WAV - problem - Please help.

So let's go back to some basics: 1) You say you made 3 x 25 minute recordings. Did you test by playing them in Audacity, after recording, that they played ok and lasted the full 25 minutes? 2) You say you Saved the Audacity Projects. Do you still have them - and idf so when you re-open them do they ...
