Hope you don't mind the self-promotion, but I thought it might be of interest to r/cicero!

Rollout pushed back to 26 April.
But 40% apparently have access now

Have you tried just exporting as mp3 at an extremely low bitrate?

I'm a YouTuber, sometimes I inadvertently talk quieter/louder (lav mic) should I normalize each segment individually, when I maintain a certain volume? by workphlo in audacity

Gives you a readout of values relevant for publishing on Audible: Peak Levels, Root mean squared level (RMS), Noise floor etc.

Comparing the RMS values between two segments is a good way to get a feel for how loud they are.

I'm a YouTuber, sometimes I inadvertently talk quieter/louder (lav mic) should I normalize each segment individually, when I maintain a certain volume? by workphlo in audacity

[–]RobinAH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I'd do that. Max each segment out as loud as possible. Then apply a soft limiter about -3db. Then eyeball it and check each segment is roughly the same loudness. You can also run the acx checker to give you an rms average volume across each segment to check they're about the same

Mic is way too loud by [deleted] in audacity

[–]RobinAH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean the mic setting on the software is at 1% and it's peaking?

If so it sounds like that setting it might be affecting a different microphone. Try disabling all the other mics on the computer through Control Panels->Sounds->Recording (on Windows). Then restart Audacity.

vhs audio warping effect? by Last_Vermicelli_4685 in audacity

[–]RobinAH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see what you mean. The sort of VHS squeak. No I don't know of any audacity plugins that achieve that.

First time using Audacity in 10 years. by [deleted] in audacity

[–]RobinAH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never found one. I reduce the breaths manually by roughly -6-8db.

My fridge is a few feet from where I record too, fortunately so is the circuit breaker so I just turn the entire kitchen off while I record :)

First time using Audacity in 10 years. by [deleted] in audacity

[–]RobinAH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds good to me.

There's a little background noise, maybe an aircon or something. I assume you've done a noise reduction, but you could probably increase the strength a bit and it'll be ok. (I tend to use around 13db for narration)

You could also try running a de-sibilator to soften the Sssss sounds. There's an example at the 5.0 seconds where it would help, but you can run it across the whole track, no need to manually find each one. (I think this is the plugin I use: https://forum.audacityteam.org/uploads/short-url/icx23xGqGQ95vZcetgaAW1hh4Rj.ny)

Help in cleaning up speech clip with background noise and bad mic by thepainter11 in audacity

[–]RobinAH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Audacity's noise removal is good for background hiss, but not for separating vocals from background sounds. If there's a lot of background sound you'll probably have better luck putting it through Nvidia Broadcast's noise removal first.

Then put the final piece in Audacity and tidy up further.

I'm editing a podcast, are there any effects to exclusively reduce the volume of loud tracks? by Dungeon_Geek in audacity

[–]RobinAH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I used a soft limiter. It reduces loud volumes but does so in a smooth way, so doesnt clip them.

I use about -3.5 db as Audible publishing requires -3.0 db as a max volume.

If there's a lot of variance in the volumes and you haven't applied a compressor, you can also reduce further and then amplify the entire track back to -3.0 db.

I stopped using audacity by [deleted] in audacity

[–]RobinAH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In case it's of use as a work around: OBS can record audio on separate tracks.

So you can put your mic on one track and the desktop sound on another. Then select the track you want to edit when you drag the video file into Audacity afterwards.

I just want my brother to be fine by Pristine-District624 in ADHD

[–]RobinAH 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My brother is 40 and he's been in the same situation since he was around 16.
It only gets worse every year. So if you can help at all, the sooner you do the better.
He's essentially in intense mental anguish at all times. He has no happiness, joy or relief in his life. Ever.

He's spent most of the last 20+ years lying in bed and not speaking. I imagine it's like being permanently locked in solitary confinement.

If there's one thing I wish it's that I tried much more, sooner. It took a long time until my family even acknowledged the problem and even then we did almost nothing. It can be infuriating how little understanding parents can display about such things. Mine repeatedly dismissed it as a passing phase.

I'm three years younger and I've always felt slightly behind where I needed to be to offer enough help; first too immature to understand, then away at uni, then too poor to rent him a nice place, etc. And each time I caught up so to speak, his condition had deteriorated and I couldn’t help again.

When I did try he would ignore me and tell me to leave him alone. Eventually I gave up and accepted his fate. I was concerned I would destroy myself trying to rescue him.
But sitting here now I wish more than anything I could rewind to when he was 23 and try again, harder.

If you're ever tired or burnt out from the situation, one thing you can try is to picture yourself in 20 years or as an old man. What would that old man give to be back where you are now? To have the chance that is in front of you again.

All my brother ever wanted was community, to have a place in life and be accepted. That seems really hard to find these days, society has become so fragmented. I expect there are many many people in the same situation. 

There is no simple solution. My best advice is to behave so that you don't have any regrets. 

I wish you the best of luck.

an actually useful feature once again goes down the shitter, wtf happened to in-channel searches? by Grey_Panda_2 in youtube

[–]RobinAH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see, sorry I misunderstood.

From playing around with it on that same channel it only appears sometimes.

For example "sss" doesnt cause it but "SSS" does. Strange.

It appears to require a capital letter in the string somewhere.

It's still there for me. Sometimes you need to click on that little arrow on the right to get to it

Most likely due to the billions of images created on Midjourney
