How can I transfer the Audacity effects settings from one proj to another so that my voice sounds the same on both recordings? Thx.

One word: life saver! Okay, that's two words.🤣THANK YOU. I'm a 20+ year high school teacher who now has to learn how to teach remotely. You just made my life so much easier and my lessons so much more complete! God bless you right down to your cotton socks!

I have music fading in at the beginning of my podcast. How do I get my voice recording to start over the music. So that the music doesn’t stop and then my voice starts. I’d like my voice recording to start with my music playing in the background for a few seconds. Thanks!

Do you use audacity to improve your audei at all? For example noise reduction to remove background noise and white noise?

Hello and thank you very much for all the excellent videos. Can you tell me why when I take a shower in Audacity I hear my voice like "squeaks" or noises.? It's not background noise, it's only when I speak. I don't speak too close and it happens with 3 different microphones. If I import my recording into an app that I didn't record it in, this phenomenon doesn't occur. Thanks

I uploaded a YouTube video that has audio that cuts out intermittently. I'd like to re-record that section, preferably on YouTube so I don't lose the count on my video views. Is there a way to do this? If not, should I use audacity to re-record the missing audio parts and then add them to MS Video editor? Do you have experience with this working successfully?
Thanks in advance!

My question is can I record a voiceover, over a track that I've imported into Audacity. Or, do I record a voiceover as you demonstrated, then overlay that on another audio track? If so, how is that done?

Here's what I'm trying to do: I want to voice over a song, actually it's a song that I eliminated all vocals and I want to replace the back ground vocals with mine. How do I lay the track for that and voice over it? Thx

How do you adjust a level on the mic so the voice won't go on yellow and red zone?

Hi.. excellent video, My microphone does not have the option to set the gain level. Is there an option to set a gain level in Audacity at the time of voice recording..?
