Final Audacity craziness for today
I recorded a Skype call while broadcasting using Simplecast (I think I was broadcasting) and then normalized selectively, compressed, which seems to also normalize then normalized selectively again and cut out some gaps. All suggestions and advice are welcomed and appreciated!
More Audacity craziness
I'm still not sure I understand the difference between normalize and equalize... but here are some more efforts for your listening craziness and hopefully comments and suggestions. You can tell by the name what I did to each one. They are all from the Simplecast recording (an mp3) I forgot to click the Audacity button. Maybe that's the lesson right there... don't try to edit from the Simplecast recording.... (isn't that what we've been learning????) anyway - can you tell the difference and if you import an mp3 that was saved in Simplecast into Audacity and then save it as a mp3- are you double
Recording in Audacity with SAM on WinXP
I broadcast on Sandbox A. I'm not really sure I was broadcasting but I heard the echo, my meters moved and I followed the old SAM screencast. I then recorded in Audacity. The attachments are -the Audacity file saved as a mp3, the Audacity saved as WAV and the stream, saved in SAM as an mp3, opened in Audacity and edited just for length and saved. I had to close the file and just click save or it wanted to save it as an Audacity file or cause me to have to export it as mp3, which would have meant saving an mp3 again as an mp3 which I thought would be a bad idea... not sure where to go with this next. Can anyone hear a difference? None of the files are edited for sound quality.
Audio recording
I used a small piece of a skpe conversation that Lee and I had while she was helping me with WireTap Pro. The first attachment is the segment edited and the second attachment is the same audio unedited.
There are 4-5 places where her speech is slurred. It really bothers me but I was unable to correct it. I hope someone else has some ideas about how to avoid the "slurring sound" or how to fix it.
I opened the aiff file from wiretap pro in audacity and then in both cases exported as mp3 files to post here.
Where I live...
Hi - Here's where I live!
You can't post attachments to a blog response. It appears that in order to post my pictures, I need to be posting in my blog rather than responding to Paul's blog entry. Is that true?
In the end, I may have made these pictures a little too small. How do you all decide on a good size (both size and file size) when you post pictures to a blog?
Help with Wire Tap Pro needed!
Yikes! My recording today seems to have recorded everything double or with an echo. At first I thought it was just that it recorded stereo so I split the tracks and deleted one but listen to how terrible it sounds. I'll try again tomorrow.
Susan's Introduction 07_24_06
Hi everyone! I was sorry to miss the first adventure with the new group of interns but look forward to working with you and supporting you as much as I can!
I did use a few filters on this recording but am unhappy with the underwater sound of it. I normalized it and faded in the beginning. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to get rid of the underwater sound, it would be great! I'd also like to stick one of those flash players here to play it, but am not sure how to do it. ???
Jeff, the screenshot video that you made as the introduction was fabulous. I would like to learn how to do that - exactly what you did. It would be a nice way to do my report. In fact, I have a recurring problem with my Nicecast which I could record and share! How did you make that???
