I found this free realtime EQ plugin from within Audacity and I took it for a test drive. It’s a good EQ plugin and it’s FREE! If you’re looking for a good realtime EQ plugin and you don’t want to spend a lot of money for it, give this one a try. This was the first time I’ve used this free plugin and I liked it. I normally use Fabfilter’s Pro-Q plugin for my EQ but it’s not free. This one is free and from what I can tell so far, it’s more than adequate for spoken word recordings like podcasts, audiobooks, and voiceovers.

I recorded this video in Ecamm Live and edited it in Final Cut Pro. I normally use Camtasia for both recording and editing my teaching videos. I miss being able to zoom in and out as I’m moving through a screen. What are your thoughts? Is this method adequate or should I go back to Camtasia? Let me know in the comments. Thanks for watching…

Audacity version 3.7.4 came out today and in this video I take a look at the AI noise suppression and transcript effects included in this update. These AI effects were previously released for Windows users but version 3.7.4 provides AI capability for Mac users, of which I am one. So let’s take a look.

I recently converted some old cassette tapes to a digital format and when I imported the files into Audacity, they had a considerable amount of DC offset. In this video I show you how I corrected the DC offset with the high pass filter that’s built into Audacity.
