Re: Making a Piano Sound More Stereo (plugin help?)

My main goal, besides a more stereo sound, is to give that lower half of the piano keys sound from the left speaker, and the higher half of the piano keys sound from the right speaker. I shan't pretend to understand why you want the lower half of the piano keys sound from the left speaker, and the ...

Re: Making a Piano Sound More Stereo (plugin help?)

Again, no plugins needed. While your channels are split for the delay/stereo effect, apply the equalizer independently to left and right. Effect > Equalization > Graphic Eq. On the low side pull down the sliders above about 400 and on the high side, all the sliders below 400. 440 is the "middle...

Re: Making a Piano Sound More Stereo (plugin help?)

Thank you for the tips Koz. I'll give them a try. My main goal, besides a more stereo sound, is to give that lower half of the piano keys sound from the left speaker, and the higher half of the piano keys sound from the right speaker. Have you ever heard this in a song before? I just heard a couple ...

Re: Making a Piano Sound More Stereo (plugin help?)

The person who gave us "dual tape decks" also produced "stereo widener" plug-in,
at the very bottom of this page ... http://audacityteam.org/download/nyquistplugins
This plug-in won't make dual-mono into pseudo-stereo though, i.e. the tracks have to be different for it to work.

Re: Recording from Stereo Mix

... viciously reassigns sound pathways. That's one of the reasons it's so successful. We all get to follow Skype's act, not the other way to. I can help a little. If you didn't already know this, if you click inside the red recording meters, they will wake up in diagnostic mode and monitor the sound ...

Re: Making a Piano Sound More Stereo (plugin help?)

We warn people to only install the plugins they're actually going to use. One plugin that doesn't feel well that day and Audacity won't start.

Re: Making a Piano Sound More Stereo (plugin help?)

You can get a very presentable fake stereo effect by simply delaying Right only without Left. If you listen in headphones (no computer speakers, please) your playing will become deep and wide as you increase the delay. You can finish off the effect with a very slight echo or reverb. If you do it rig...

Re: Help - vital file is unreadable

You missed an important word or two. You Export as WAV or you Save as Projects? If all your work is Projects, then your AUP file and your DATA folder have to exist and be in the same folder or directory. The AUP file is the show manager and the DATA folder has all the stuff to make your music. You c...

Re: Clipping/distorted recording

... waves due to overdriving something, or exceeding digital limits.) Are you monitoring the mixer's analog output, and is it OK? That would help to determine if the problem is on the analog or digital side. If the analog is OK and if your computer has line-in, you can use your existing soundcard.
