:?: Gee, I'm not sure at all. I think the mic for that may have been different; a very cheap one one I found stuck in a dusty corner. Then I rushed to WalMart and bought a $9 Logitec which has been used for all the rest assuming it was better. Also, I used normalize and amplify on that first one it ...

Wow Ruth, I can't sneak anything by you, can I? HA Truthfully I had not found that button at that time. On the other hand you have given me an excellent idea. I will try to paste a recording in the previous message WITHOUT Realtek noise suppression and another WITH to give people an idea of the diff...

:wink: well Ruth, the reason the swarm of angry bees was on my previous sample was: 1) I know you love a challenge and/or 2) lots of background noise gives the listener a challenge they secretly love. Really, I hadn't discovered the suppression button until after sending the sample. The more I poke ...

Noise Suppression with Realtek
This may be old information but it was new to me so I thought I'd pass it on to other LV recorders. If your 'puter uses Realtek as a sound manager, then you have a built in very nice noise suppressor that cancels the hummie things (technical term for things that go hmmmmm like your computer fans and...

http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/tests/rawwithboostforruththeravishing.mp3 Dear Ruth (I feel I know you already): the above file is a raw, unmodified recording done with the boost ON. And yes, the previous one was done before I ferreted out that boost thing. The wave file looks stronger but ...

Increasing microphone volume
I have been very frustrated by the weak volume from my microphone that produces an anemic, almost flat, wave in Audacity unless I scream. The trouble I finally discovered was that I have Realtek Audio on my computer and it takes over from normal windows controls, not allowing normal volume control. ...

For RuthieG: this is a raw, untouched sample of an Audacity recording on my 'puter. http://upload.librivox.org/share/uploads/tests/raw_recordingfor_RuthieG.mp3 I am using a cheap analog Logitech desk mic now but have ordered a Yeti. (If I can't improve my voice, at least I can improve my microphone,...

talking into a tin can?
:roll: Can anyone tell me why my playback voice suddenly went from sounding OK to a weird hollow, wavering voice? It goes from Baritone to tenor ... interesting but very distracting. There is a touch of that 'talking into a tin can' sound too. I am using Audacity with the suggested settings. i would...
