5/17/2023 0 Comments Audacity mixing![]() ![]() ![]() It common practice to filter the deep bass out of everything except the bass guitar and kick drum because an deep bass in vocals and most instruments is just garbage/noise. And, if you find a harsh-unnatural resonance somewhere in the recording you can notch that out. If the mic is to bright or “too crispy” you can roll-off the highs etc. If you have a dull sounding microphone you can add some high frequency boost. Live acoustic music is often just mixed acoustically (soundwaves mixing/blending naturally in the air).ĮQ and filtering are mostly “corrective”. During a live performance the guitar player or keyboard player might be using some effects but the sound engineer is mostly just trying to present the audience with a good-accurate mix of the performance. I’d start with the (unrealistic) idea that a good recording doesn’t need any effects. I believe that’s mostly in the “performance” rather than the mix. Do Not use slashmarks in a filename.ĭouble click the AUP file and it will launch Audacity and your show will open just as you left it.Ĭan I get some pointers on what effect to apply to strings, guitar and vocals to make it all sound like one piece rather than an uneven gathering of many sounds. Today is 20200504, or, if you like it better. When you name the project, you can use upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, -dash- and underscore. The AUP file and the _DATA folder have to stay together, they have to be named the same and it has to be the name you gave them in Audacity. You can’t open an MP3 and change it without causing some sound damage. Make sure the MP3 is a copy of an existing project. When you get to the very end, then you can File > Export > Export an MP3 sound file for posting or sharing. When you get to an edit you like, make another project with a different name so you don’t damage your safety backup by accident. When it gets done, copy that AUP file and _DATA folder to a thumb drive or other backup. Don’t touch it except to copy it into Audacity for changes or effects.įile > Save a Project > Save a Lossless Project. Make a safety backup of your unedited show. ![]()
