Master Editor, Before I found your site, I posted the message below elsewhere. I was planning on spending tomorrow to see what I could do with GarageBand and other apps, but maybe you can help me with Audacity.It's a mystery to me. It just doesn't make any sense. Can you help? "I have an unexpected problem: I can't stop the recording. My project today is to extract three songs from a medley. However, whatever I do: (1) Press Space Bar (2) Press the STOP button, (3) set the beginning and ending with the table at the bottom, THE RECORDING DOES NOT STOP. When I listen to what I have just recorded, the recording does not stop with the first song; it plays the whole damn medley. I'm just a beginner, but it seems to me that I am not doing anything wrong (Wed Jul 14, 2021; 2:09 PM) Later: The same thing happens with the second tune, and it's even worse. When I play back what should be my recording of the SECOND song. the recording starts with the FIRST song. What's going on "? "
Thank you for the tutorial.... that was a great lesson. I always wanted to learn how to use Audacity, now I think I've learned enough to get started using it.
Thank you for your tutorials. I must ask if they are done with AI. The voice inflections seem to point in that direction. Just curious. The videos are still useful. I have a question from the video you did with the four effects to use and I thought you said to use them in that order and this last video seemed to disagree with that. Just curious as I'm editing my own auditions prior to submission. Your videos taught me about Equalization and Compression.
Yes, narrations are done with AI voice. If you use only noise reduction and normalize, then order doesn't matter. If you need effects like EQ or compression, then order matters. If your audition requires certain Lufs level, then you have to use loudness normalization. I have a recent 23 minutes video explaing the details.
Yes, that's in my mind too. I have also made another tutorial on audacity usage which is bit advanced. You can check out here ruclips.net/video/CsbUhQWlaw0/видео.html But I will try to add more to this series.
thanks a lot for this tutorial .. quick question .. can i use my macbook built in microphone to start my podcast .. as we know apple makes pretty good mics on their laptops .. i tried to record using it and it sound good
It's really depends on how it's actually sounds! If recording environment is quite enough, Mac built in microphone produce decent sounds. One important thing to notice is loudness. If after normalizing, it's still sounding good, you can use it.
@@MasterEditor5 yeah the recording environment is really quite .. and the the voice sounds pretty clear .. thank you for the help .. thanks a lot mate .. i subscribe ❤️
Hi Master, I am a beginner and new with Audacity, just wanna ask why when I start recording using Skype or other applications, It doesn't record the other line, is there a way to make that happen? Thanks!
Hello Rafael, I have not used it but I see audacity has some information on this. manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_recording_audio_playing_on_the_computer.html manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_windows.html
You have to use the Import Option. I have an example of how to open multiple files in the same project in this video ruclips.net/video/gMQcLRSQBH8/видео.html
If you choose a preset, it will change. 0dB in EQ or filter curve means Audacity will do nothing on those frequencies. Also your comment gave me an idea about making an explainer video on EQ. I will try to make a video on that in future. :)
I have an issue with the recording GAIN - everything is all the way up - and still the recording level is low. Also, when using the AMPLIFY tool to quiet the breaths by decreasing the db, it INCREASES the wave form. Very confusing!!
Which and what type of microphone you are using? Amplify works with respect to current level. Select a small part, play it and check in the playback meter upto which db it goes. Then move the slider to the left in a way, so that new peak amplitude will be less than what you saw in playback meter. If new peak amplitude is more than what you saw in the playback meter, volume will increase.
I don't have experience to use forcustic solo, but I guess you have to do something to increase recording loudness from there. Afterwards you have to normalize.
@DAVID MUSIK TV Delay is under Effect menu. It is in the second section. First sections has built in effects. In case you don't find it, check if it is enabled through Add plugins
No, there are lots of ppl who can't select audio properly anymore with the new versions on Windows 10. And the solution is nowhere to be found. Do you or anyone else reading this know how to fix it because it makes Audacity completely useless, after using is for 6 years i now suddenly have this problem. thanks in advance.
hmm, it's very unfortunate and disturbing. I use mac, so not facing the issue. I hope someone using windows comes forward. You can make a video about the issue on you channel and I can share that on Community tab if anyone knows the fix.
@@MasterEditor5 .now i fixed it :-) i didnt stop finding out the problem untill i had it. And its in the settings of the timer on the bottom. :-) in the newer versions this needs to be set manually. No one knew and i also could not find this info anywhere.. so glad it 's solved now

can you make a beginner to pro series using audacity?
Yes, that's in my mind too. I have also made another tutorial on audacity usage which is bit advanced. You can check out here ruclips.net/video/CsbUhQWlaw0/видео.html

@@MasterEditor5 yesh cool
Some suggestions
You can make vocal effects like sounding from another room or on a phone or inner voice kind of
Thanks
Great suggestions. I will work on it. Thanks

How do I opne multiple already existing audio files in the same project?

My filter curve EQ window didn’t look like this when I first opened it, just a straight line at 0dB
If you choose a preset, it will change. 0dB in EQ or filter curve means Audacity will do nothing on those frequencies. Also your comment gave me an idea about making an explainer video on EQ. I will try to make a video on that in future. :)
