Audacity only recording left channel upgrade#

Right now we're not recording into the computer. I assume it will be no problem, after final editing, to mix it all down to a mono MP3 track for publishing. I love the idea of having each speaker and the music (intros and transitions and outro) on individual tracks. I just need to learn Reaper well enough in the next 3 weeks (before our next episode needs to be recorded) to be able to set it up. What kind of audio interface are you using to interface your microphones with your computer? Then you would automatically have your 2 mics on separate audio tracks. I think that the easier way to do it is to run your 2 microphones into your audio interface and then record each mic onto it's own mono channel in Reaper.

Audacity only recording left channel upgrade#

The answer to my partners question is that we've invested a lot of money into our recording hardware to upgrade our sound, I think Reaper will allow us to upgrade our sound more than Audacity. Import the recorded WAV files, get a background noise sample and hit the noise removal button, edit, insert intro, transition, and outro music and normalize it to the voices, mix it down to a mono track, the export to the appropriate type MP3 for publishing. Audacity worked, and I have that workflow nailed. I think he's worried that it's going to take me a lot longer to learn it and thus delay our podcast releases. Note I just purchased Reaper this past week so I am very much a beginner (been reading a set of tutorials on using Reaper for podcasts, such as )įWIW, my partner in the podcast asked why I'm switching to Reaper when I'm fluent in Audacity. 3 clicks (plus dragging the mouse to select the section to be silenced.) I hit a button to allow me to edit the right and left channel separately, then highlight the piece I want to silence, then hit a 'insert silence' button, then OK.

So simply cutting out a clip of the track won't work, I need to select, e.g., the cough on one half of the stereo track and silence it. We record in stereo, with each voice on a separate half of the track, then mix the final, after editing version to mono for release (having voices ping-pong back and forth from the left and right speakers is annoying!) The reason I record in stereo is to allow me to edit one speaker without effecting the other where necessary, for example if one speaker coughs or says something over the other person we want to remove. so I decided time to upgrade my audio editor. We've upgraded all of our mics, mixer, etc. My partner and I host a podcast, and for the last 3 years I've edited it in Audacity.
