oh, this part is difficult! I'm going to record a clarinet in a studio (playing on a backing tracks) so I'm going through all the audacity courses right now but I have no clue about the Hz thing, how should I adjust them to make the clarinet sound as good as possible. So, I have to do some more research than I thought 😀
Hey, I'm glad the videos are helping! It takes experimentation. For a clarinet you'll probably want to cut the low end off up to around 50Hz to get rid of unwanted 'rumble'. You might get some muddiness around 250-500Hz that you'll want to reduce. But it completely depends on the recording - the mic, the room etc. If you can hear a nasty frequency in the recording, you can make a sharp boost while you're listening and drag it around the area you think it's in. Then when you've found it, pull it down to reduce.
Thanks so much! As a DJ, I use Audacity to edit and master dance music mixes for events and individual song remixes, mashups, etc. Learning a lot to improve my promo/announcements voiceovers. When, if ever, do you recommend the limiter? I use it for virtually every club mix (music only), especially EDM. Push to just below clipping.
Happy to help! Sounds good. I would limit every single master you do. For music I master to either -0.1 or -0.3 depending on the style of music. For podcasts I master to -1.
Thanks for the tips, I can really hear the difference. Also how do you edit your voice? Like if you record your webcam and voice in OBS can you just edit in audacity?
Awesome. I'm glad it helped. Yeah so OBS is recording everything that's coming out of my sound card onto the video (so everything coming out of Audacity). Then I have a Pro Tools session (or another DAW) running in the background recording the mic for my voice.
Superb instruction, informative, useful, well-presented🌟👏👍Just subbed
thank you
thanks again Joe much appreciated
Really helpful. Thank you.
Happy to help!
Is this the best channel name ever I think so. Also picked up a few audacity tips which is always great. A like was left
Thanks so much! I'm glad it's been helpful and that you like the name :D
