Help will be appreciated as I cannot continue on my project until I get this right. Please help, what am I doing wrong? I thought downloading the previous version would help but it will not accept the updated version file so Im still stuck. I’ve been over and over this and cannot seem to get the same result as on the videos. If I press the record button at the point where the label has created a new track space, it starts recording at the end of my original recording. It then tells me to mute the track above and according to the videos, if you press record, it automatically starts a new recording track which you can then copy and paste into the original recording. The tutorial I have just watched and many others, show you how to label a track which then creates a recording track below it. I am trying to do a simple over-record to fix an error in my recording and I cannot find a simple way to do this no matter how many tutorials I watch. I am very frustrated because the versions on the tutorials differ from the versions I have and they do not specify which version they are using. I use Windows 10 and have now got Audacity v2.3.1 and v 3.0.0. Acoustic room noise is the toughest issue and sometimes there can be electrical noise from the preamp, interface, or USB mic. Noise is usually the biggest (technical) issue. In addition to a decent mic, you need a quiet, sound-absorbing, “studio”. I bought a usb microphone according to the Librivox specs. I don’t know about the Librivox requirements but Audacity has some good specialized tools and a Recommended Audiobook Mastering Process to help with ACX requirements. However, Audacity can adjust the level after recording with the Amplify or Normalize effects, etc.
(It’s important to get a good-strong acoustic & analog level to overcome noise). Otherwise digital recording levels are not critical.
The main thing is that you avoid clipping (distorting) by “trying” to go over 0dB (100%). The analog level has to be adjusted before it’s digitized and with a USB mic the signal is digitized before going to the computer. Unless your mic has a recording level control you probably can’t adjust the level during recording. I truly cannot find the decibel settings on Audacity and I’ve failed every test because Im not reaching the correct decibel level. If Audacity is set-up wrong you can get an internal feedback-echo loop. But you shouldn’t be listening to yourself through speakers while recording. If it gets louder-and-louder every loop it can also get out-of-control. With computer speakers there is usually a delay so you get an echo. What kind of “feedback”? Typically, feedback is a “squeal” when the sound from the speakers feeds-back into the microphone in an out-of-control loop.
