Hello! I’ve been having this recurring problem starting from about one week ago where while I record through my USB Microphone (Blue Snowball) in Audacity, the sensitivity bar keeps readjusting itself to fit my noise level. However, I don’t wish to have this; it causes distortion in my recording. And sometimes if it suddenly shoots up the sensitivity bar, it’ll cause intense clipping. I’ve tried several solutions but so far I’ve come up with nothing… Is there anyone who’s had this problem who’s already solved it? Please tell me how you did it!
Windows has an automatic voice system called Enhanced Services. It will try to “clean” your voice and adjust it for good volume, intelligibility and low noise. It hates music.
