LOL THE ADD IN THE BEGINNING XD

A guy was saying "Are you in youtube right now, trying to find secrets about how to make ur audio clear (or something like that)" LOL

All you have to do os select the whole track, and go to noise removal, and put the sensitivity at 5 and boom! Professional sounding vocals!

This just saved me from needing to re-record 6 podcasts. For some reason the video software muffled my voice but not the guest's in all 6, so I needed to go back and brighten all my tracks. It worked great. Thanks!

Is it possible to have the Leveler be On During recording(piano in my case) ..? To avoid clipping the peaks?? 

If I have the audio on my piano Lower I get this insane Buzzing Sound, its not noise, its noise infested with some kind of bug disease! So the "perfect" levels will allow me to hit ppp to ff ...but that fff will clip.. so I was hoping to set the Leveler ON during recording, so that it would keep the fff's below the clipping range even though my Audio Level is sliiightly to high unless such a thing is active? Anyone? :)

Made a garbled, low-quality track sound great with this trick, thanks!!

How do I get clean recording for live voice over sessions? I have an AT2020 USB mic, using Audacity in Win10. There's always a hiss - I can clean it before submitting an audition or project, to where the engineer says it sounds like it was recorded in a pro studio. But I don't have that option if I'm doing a live session via ISDN, etc. with a remote director or producer. Thank you for your help.

I know this is completely irrelevant, but did you ever add color to that tattoo sleeve since making this video? Looks awesome, but I bet it would look epic completed!

[God-w-]

well basically when you are in space with no other sound, your audio will always sound crisp as fuck. Plus this dude probably has a studio microphone that is at least $150+ Also he uses a pretty decent mixer (saffire 6) But if you didnt have those 2 things your audio would change a lot from this "How To"

What do you do with vocals that run hot? Do you have to re-record? Or is there an Effect I can use? I've tried everything... and I k now Audacity pretty well! I can't figure it out!!! Any advice???

[Mrspatriciafry]

Hello Joey,
I have a bunch of audio from a conference that I need to fix. Would you be able to help me? The speaker was talking really loud in the mike, piano in the background is way loud and there are background singers. I have about 10 hours of this I really need to fix.
Thanks
