It sounds like those MP3 files may be corrupted or encoded in a format Audacity does not support.

hi Mike. great tutorial, one of the better videos ive seen. im an Audacity newbee and a recorder player (what some call a block flute). id like to enhance the audio of videos of my playing. ive figured out how to modify the audio from a recorded video with Audacity. is there any way to get the modified audio paired with the original video so i could upload to youtube? i cant seem to find any information on this and you seem to be about the best source of info i can find on Audacity. any help would be appreciated. (from Herb)

@MikeRussell 5 ай бұрын

Hi Herb, to pair your edited audio with your original video in Audacity for KZfaq upload, you'll need to export the audio file separately and then re-import it as an audio track during the video editing process in a video editor like Adobe Premiere Pro or OBS Studio. Let me know if you need further assistance!

@MikeRussell 3 ай бұрын

I'd recommend checking your MacBook's audio settings to ensure Audacity is set to the correct output device, and also try restarting both Audacity and your MacBook to see if that resolves the playback issue with the sound bar moving but no sound. Hope this helps!

@suncrafterspielt9479 10 ай бұрын

Thanks mate. Just a question though. Why would you edit a sound file with audacity? I mean the only use case i can think of is music, but I believe you would use something more sophisticated for that. Otherwise audio for videos is mostly handled in the video editor too right?

@MikeRussell 10 ай бұрын

Great question! While Audacity might seem basic compared to more advanced software, it's a free, open-source option that's great for simple audio editing tasks. You may require more if doing detailed video work like you mention.

Hey there! In Audacity, to apply effects like normalize and compress across multiple sections, you can use the "Apply Chain" feature which allows you to batch process your audio edits. Hope this helps!

Sorry Mike, but what's the idea behind that dip in the EQ at 8 kHz? I'm totally lost on that :) the rest is easy to follow - thank you for the tutorial!

Removing a bit of 8 kHz can reduce sibilance and harshness for a smoother, warmer vocal tone.

@JustaRegularPersonGM 27 күн бұрын

why do i see "tempo" instead of the Project rate (Hz) thing in the bottom left corner

@MikeRussell 27 күн бұрын

The "tempo" display you're seeing is likely due to the default settings in Audacity, which is designed to show tempo rather than the project sample rate, but you can easily change this to display the sample rate in the project settings.

Hi Mike 👋 I could use a little help l've been using audacity for most of my jobs and the audio I recorded has always been clear. l've recently I upgraded my laptop and re-downloaded audacity on the new laptop I quickly noticed that when I record my voice using THE SAME equipment l've BEEN using for all my jobs is now sounding grainy and sounds as if being recorded through a phone. I'm not sure how to fix it and was wondering if you or anyone can please help, it seems like it would be such a simple fix but I'm stumped

To resolve grainy audio in Audacity on your upgraded laptop, try checking system settings, recalibrating audio devices, or updating audio drivers.

Brother, I hope you read all my comments I tried to start creating content with voiceover, and I bought a Boya M1 microphone and tried recording and editing audio with Audacity, but I did not reach the desired result that I see with other KZfaqrs. I also applied many explanations on KZfaq, but with no result. My question is, can I really achieve what I want to achieve with Boya M1 and Audacity, or should I give up and accept the fait accompli?
