Hello Dean and all: Thank you for the links to the program and the tutorial. I have used Gold Wave for a long time and as a totally blind Jaws user, like its accesibility very much. The biggest problem I have is the noise reduction, which isn't that great in GW.
After reading several posts about the new Audacity and the quality of its noise reduction to clean out old recordings, I downloaded and installed it. I am still no expert with noise reduction, but it seems to be better than Gold Wave's. I went through the tutorial, which is very complete and thus cumbersome, but I am still having two things I haven't been able to figure out: 1. Voiceover. How to reduce the volume of the playing track while recording speech over it. 2. How to tell the length of the track with some key stroke. I would also appreciate if someone can point me to a simple tutorial about noise reduction or applying effects with Audacity. TIA, Humberto -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dean Masters Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2012 4:15 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Is Audacity 2.0 Worth the Update?

Hi All, Does anyone have a direct link to audacity 2.0 and the tutorial? Thanks for any help. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rich De Steno Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2012 1:14 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Is Audacity 2.0 Worth the Update? I have been using Audacity 1.3 beta. Are there any advantages in upgrading to 2.0? Also, the noise reduction effect in Audacity appears to be far superior to that in Goldwave, which I used up until a few years ago. Is this accurate or just an isolated event? For example, I successfully eliminated virtually all of the background noise from a recording without affecting the quality of the voice. When I would attempt to do this in Goldwave, I would get that under-water cell phone distortion effect at times in some parts of the recording. -- Rich De Steno To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [email protected] To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [email protected] To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [email protected] To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [email protected]
