Yet another great tutorial Mike! I appreciate how concise and clear your videos are, thank you!

[Mani-Real-estate]

Another excellent tutorial, Mike! Thank you for making such concise and straightforward videos.

Audacity has been my default editor for some time but thanks to you Mike there are still things
I wasn't even aware of, thanks again for the edification. 🙏

[finn.hermansen]

Great tool - I like it - Thx Mike 👍
I would love to se some effects such as echo and more

[TheUberSchattenjager]

Great, per usual. As a newbie, I struggle with the ORDER in which I should perform tasks. I am moving my voice work entirely in-house (me only) and typically have voice with ocassiaonal background music or effects to work with. The 'whens' to normalize, reduce noise, add music, compress etc feel daunting just now.

[DrewSwenson]

Oh my god! Autoducking is a GAME Changer for me! I've been cludging together my own edits for weeks X_X.

[Sagefrakrobatik]

I've been watching tons of tutorials on Audacity and taking notes, one thing I try to pay attention to is how different channels adjust different effects, i.e. compression, normalization, EQ etc. after I learned as much as I can from Audacity I want to spend the month of Feb. absorbing as much information about Adobe audition, then in march I will put what I learn to use and create more episodes for my podcast.

As someone who has never worked with this program but who has wanted to, this was super helpful and easy to follow! I might finally give it a try soon!

Hello Mike - Heard you were the AA guru from VOAngela! I can no longer see my audio waves. I can see my spectral frequency but when I play it back, my audio is very low. If I were to highlight the audiowaves and select Favorites-Normalize to -3db, then you can see my audio waves. I confirmed that my hardware preferences are correct and I've also played with the mic volume while recording. This just started yesterday while the past few weeks new with AA was no problem. Do you have some solutions?

[MsKatiLubek]

Hi Mike, how can I contact you about a personalized audio preset? Thank you

[stephenkitchen]

I'm new to Audacity, How do I load up the sound effects the new version has, and How do I go about getting background noise like wind and car engines from my outside recordings?

[tombruce]

Handy tips, thanks!
Why would noise gates be considered better than noise removal tools? Whenever I use a gate it sounds worse because it just shuts off the noise during the pauses in my VO, and then lets in ALL the noise along with my voice, which just sounds bad and distracting to me.
Oh, and more more question, how does Waves NS1 within Audacity compare to the built-in Audacity noise reduction?

[misterverse]

How do I make my audio clip descend? As in, the pitch goes down more and more as the clip plays.

[dukoo]

Cool edit pro 2.1 is still better then Audacity. Well, if you ask me.. LOL!
