Audacity Forum

Hi everyone, I tried using the search function to no avail and I read over the FAQ. I'm trying to record either Ventrilo or teamspeak. My problem is such that I can only record either what comes out of my speakers, (windows noises, other people talking, music playing, etc) OR myself (ie. my micropho...

Wait here, I'll see if I can find one. I found one cowering behind the rain barrel. Hi, Audacity will not import--or open most compressed audio formats properly. They just play really fast and you can't do anything to stop it. You need to convert to something Audacity understands like Microsoft WAV ...

The vocoder effect might work OK. Search for that plugin. That's the one that forces a human voice to sound like a guitar or other instrument. Because of the way it works, you may have to select two different audio tracks. I've never used the digital version of the effect. You're stuck the the Ameri...

The noise removal tools in Audacity 1.3 work pretty good, but I don't think they're any match for fan noise louder than you are. It is a little unusual for a laptop to run at full cooling all the time. Mine cycle on and off. Record during the quiet interludes. Past that you're looking at an external...

There are one or more data bottlenecks on your computer that are interfering with the flow of data from audio input to hard disk. Do not record to an external device. Make sure that you have plenty of disk space (Drive C:/). Defragment your hard drive (C:/) Shut down all non-essential programs. Clos...

Maybe the answer is that for someone who's a newbie, I have to spend $400 to get Adobe's audio editing product - presumably that comes with a manual. Ha, yes it does, but I'm yet to find anyone who can explain the workings of their compressor. :D The official documentation for 1.2.6 is here: http:/...

So I've search this site up and down and didnt exactly find what I was lookin for. But I have a laptop, an HP Pavillion DV6000, and I noticed that everytime I recorded a song, it sounded like the microphone was on the other side of the room...it even picked up the TV and other background noise (It p...

Since changing the pitch of a vocal track is a snap, the real question is how to split off the vocals and then recombine them. Center Pan Remover (Voice Remover--Search the page for "Center Pan Remover") http://audacityteam.org/download/nyquistplugins Voice Isolator (Opposite of Center Pan...

You appear to be at the "Grown Up" sound system front door. What Will Kill You (by G. Kozikowski) --You can't extend a USB microphone. There's no such thing as adding extension cables to a USB microphone to get it out the the back of the audience. You'll start to get data errors or it will...

Most time--well over 50%--you can't do that. The singing voices are so buried in the performance with echo and special effects, they will never come out. However, if it's a simple performance with no effects and the singer(s) are in the middle, you might try the Center Pan Remover. Center Pan Remove...
