Just reporting back that we have run the test.

By comparing, I notice some slight difference in tonality. But since on one else is comparing, the differences don't matter. :lol:

This saves him considerable upload and download time.

Many thanks,

Thanks, Chuck, that's a great process you have outlined. I'll set up a test.

Thanks, rfwilmut, for the suggestion of increasing the bitrate.

Would I tell my employee to save and work in the mp3 format? I'm not sure if that's possible, but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks,
Jemel

I'm not sure what FLAC does, but I do have Audacity, so I can look it up.

Thanks,

Will audio keep quality if we upload/download mp3 & edit

I'm sure there is an easy answer to this question. I have understood that when saving to mp3 and then back to wave or amad or aiff, quality is lost. Here's the situation: I record and edit on Amadeus Pro using my Mac. My employee is on Windows using Audacity. We do the file transfer by uploading/dow...

Re: Navigation in Amadeus pro

Hi, I find navigating in Amadeus pro rather complicated. It jumps back to the beginning when I don't want it too, etc.. Maybe I'm not used to the software yet. Are their tricks I should know? LOL. I did laugh when I read this. At first it seemed strange to me, also. Now I am so accustomed to the sh...

Re: Levelator

Excellent, Wizardgold

I downloaded it last night and did a test and noticed the difference. It is very smart software.

Re: Levelator

Save the file off as a a AIFF or WAV file and drop it onto the levelator application which is free. Works a treat and easy too... Can you clarify, please, Wizardgold, do you mean to save file as a AIFF or WAV file immediately? In other words, do this as an alternative to the process suggested above...

Thanks!

This is an excellent tutorial, rfwilmut :D

I see I will have to experiment to get it just the way I want it. But with my quick run through, I get it!

Many thanks,

How do I equalize the volumes of two speaking voices?

Hi,

I'm recording interviews over a phone line. My voice is always strong and clear, but the volume of the person who is interviewing me is not as strong.

Is this a problem that can be corrected using Amadeus Pro or is it another software or plugin?

Thanks, Jemel

Re: De-echoing my studio closet

Thanks, rfwilmut, for your very helpful post. I know that I will refer to it often as I continue to experiment. I only make one change at a time and then test.

Thanks,

Re: De-echoing my studio closet

Thanks Gerard, That box is a fascinating invention. I might be able to use it. I stand, though, I don't sit. I put my recorder on a small tripod which I have taped to an analog mic stand. Yes, I'll keep experimenting. I have 30 (and counting!) test recordings, each documented with the changes I've m...

De-echoing my studio closet

I'm looking for ideas that will help me to make my little studio a better sound chamber for recording. It has 2 walls that are 9 inch thick poured cement, one wall to an adjoining room, and a wooden door and regular wall on the fourth side. I've draped a porous bedspread over the door. I have lots o...

Removing echo on recording

There is a slight echo on my recording. I thought I would be able to adjust that by using the Echo feature in the Effects menu. However, I notice little change in sound no matter what number I place in the field.

Is there a way to remove an echo?

Thanks,
Jemel
