Re: further help with audacity, please?
Deb, I don't have much experience with Audacity but I do have some experience with noise reduction. What it sounds as though is happening is that you may have included too much in the sample of noise that you extracted when you started with the noise reduction process. I think that was covered in a previous note, but the first thing you have to do is to isolate a sample of the noise you want to remove that does not include anything you want to keep. If, for example, you got some of the voices in the noise sample that you want to keep, Audacity or any other noise reduction software would include those voices as part of the noise you wanted to remove. However, noise reduction works best on constant noise. Therefore, it is also possible that noise reduction techniques may not do a good job of getting rid of background voices since they are not steady. It is still worth a try, though, as noise reduction may help some.

further help with audacity, please?
Hi friends, I am Dave Trevino's wife and have more Audacity questions: 1. Are there any tutorials that can take me from the very beginning? I have used Studeo Recorder for editing but that's my only experience. 2. The file I want to work with is a conference call with superimposed (or background) voices. I want to remove the background voices from the file. 3. I don't understand the parameters in the noise reduction feature as to DB settings, etc. My attempt to use the NR resulted in lower volume of my total file and limited success with removing the offending background speech. Suggestions appreciated. 4. I'm trying to do all this without laying out any cash! Thanks for help. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

RE: using the plextalk pocket or book pluse as an external microphone on computer
Hello, You could do the following: On the BP, start a recording by pushing the record button and leave it in pause mode. Place the BP into Monitor Output mode. With a cable, connect the BP's headphone jack to the mike/line-in on your computer. You might have to adjust the settings for this input on your computer. You might have to adjust the output volume on the BP. This will allow you to use the BP's external mike as an external mike for your computer.

Re: question plextalk/book port plus
Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, I have no more suggestions. I haven't encountered this problem before except when cables are bumped. I keep a roll of painter's tape with me to prevent this from happening. I have been able to create high quality recordings with my Book Port that have been broadcast on radio.

Re: question plextalk/book port plus
this often happens to me when the cables are being moved around. When the cables are still, I find no static. Be sure that the end of each cable is not being moved during recording.

Re: bluetooth problem: one for the books
This is a characteristic of bluetooth, maybe airplay i.e. over your wifi network would work better, but USB would do best, with the mixers these days all having some kind of USB output. I don't know if there is a USB Y-connector, but it would have to be powered, most likely. Joe Giovanelli wrote: > Hello, Everyone, > > I have been involved in the audio field since about 1947!!
