I've used this for years. Great Free programme. Good for Mixes, making edits for the club (even just shortening down tracks). Amplifying sounds, even recording and lots more. Great video 👍
Hi late to the party with audacity, so I’m a complete novice, regarding amplification,, how do you increase certain parts off the mix and not all the mix like you’ve demonstrated 👍
I know this is a long shot, but I record my dj sets using an ezcap device into audacity. This usually works fine, however last night I thought the recording was being recorded through the ezcap device - but seems to have turned out the built in microphone was doing the recording and so the sound is terrible. Is there any way to fix the recorded audio? Can I obtain the ezcap recording instead of the built in microphone recording because the ezcap was connected but not selected? Or is this impossible?
I've never used whatever that ezcap is so no idea but generally speaking if your original source recording sounds bad there's nothing you can do about that. Mic inputs tend to be amplified to boost the signal strength as mics aren't very loud. So I'm guessing it's distorted or sounds blown out? Probably time to re-do it from scratch I reckon unfortunately 🤷🏻♂️
@@ForgottenScouseHousecheers for the reply. I did my usual NYE mix as I do every year, and have recorded it last few years with no problem. I use this ‘ezcap’ usb audio capture device(I think it’s meant for transferring old audio cassettes or vinyls to mp3), with the mixer rca outputs plugged into that and into my laptop running audacity. I didn’t check that the record input had the device selected, and the input was just through the inbuilt microphone on my laptop. My mistake! The mix was recorded but just through the sound in the room so pretty unuseable. Just didn’t know if there was a way in audacity to either ‘clean’ the audio or alter it, because the audio capture device was plugged in but stupid me didn’t check. Oh well at least I’ll know for next time! But thankyou anyway
@@ForgottenScouseHousefor sure!! Was that preoccupied sorting my tracks & stuff out that it didn’t even dawn on me to check the input device, I just hit record and didn’t think twice until today when I listened back to it and realised cos it sounded awful! Like you say a lesson learned, will DEFINITELY remember to check first before starting recording.

Thank you 👍🏻
Ive been using Audacity for about 7 yrs now, bloody good tool to have,
So many uses mate, it's a proper capable piece of software. And it's free. Mental
Don’t know why I just watched all of that. I have no clue what you are on about. Kind of enjoyed it though 🤷♂️

Click and drag to highlight the parts you want to amplify.
Can you do that process multiple times though out the mix or just one particular part,

Ohhhhhh yep. You fucked it there champ! No way of resucing that 😄
Unlucky my friend, a lesson learned for the future 👊🏻

Can u help me?
I only can record my mix with the audio on my pc(Sounds bad). Is this normal or can i mute my pc and record with my speakers?
For some reason audacity loves to strip all sub bass out.
