Even if someone gives you a good response, the best best help you'll get is at the acoustica forums.

You're going to want to take a look at the mixcraft YouTube channel. They have a mixcraft university series that will teach you plenty.

Click the FX button on the left of the track to bring up the Effects box for that track. You can use the dropdowns inside to find your plugins. There are also some preset effects chains in the top dropdown.

The first recommended thing for vocals would be using a compressor. The Acoustica Compressor has a couple of vocal presets, try one of those.

Fude i was wondering the same thing. also can you apply the same effects from one piece if the track to another? Like how you can apply format in like google docs or smt

Why not just highlight the files all at once

What kind of voice effects are being requested? Just curious.

There a cool “ghostly voice” that you can do on audacity :

• duplicate the section you want to apply effect on
• reverse it
• apply some reverb, only the wet part
• reverse again to get back to normal

The “reverb” will be heard first but it being only wet will add a nice “outerworld voice” effect. Feel free to add some paul stretch to make it even more strange

I can’t find a way to activate the effects too .

Thanks for your message.
The Effect block is added where the playhead is and then in the lane where a track or sample is that is selected in yellow.

I see in your video that the playhead is not visible in the studio window, it probably is somewhere else in your timeline. (scrolled out of the view)
I also don't see a track or sample with a yellow header to indicate that the sample is selected.

If you watch my video at the link below, you see both the playhead and the sample selected in yellow before I click in the xy path and then the effect block does appear.

If you do that too, does it work for you?

Marking this one as solved!

Check with ChatGPT. Has been a big help for me.

The recording volume in the Tool Bar, the microphone icon, if the slider is at zero, you are muted. Happened to me once.

Have you pressed «I» next to the R for «instrument monitoring» while recording?

It's a new feature called auto input monitoring. You can turn it on or off in preferences or using a button next to the transport controls/display.

Or just manually override it every time you record by pressing I in the track "header" or whatever it's officially called

I’m curious about this same thing for vocals please help us!

Do you have low latency recording turned on in preferences? I think that disables plugins to reduce latency

Sounds like your doing to much. Noise reduction is honestly just really what you need. People over use normalize way to much its not a miracle tool. then again I don't exactly know your set up.

My chain is

Normalize

Background noise reduction

Declick

Deess

I personally would put noise reduction, de-click, and de-ess before any compression and normalization if I was choosing to use these. Thought process being, I want to use these “clean up” kind of processes BEFORE I start messing with the levels of my audio.

That being said, I recommend choosing what processes you use by evaluating what problems you need to fix in your audio rather than just doing something because someone told you too (I’m not saying this is what you’re doing! Just offering the advice in general.) Also be looking to do what you can to fix these problems at the source, in your recording space. Obviously that can sometimes be costly and not immediately possible so doing processing can be a solution in the meantime. Most auditions request raw audio though and it makes life easier to not have to do much to make your audio workable anyways. Processing can help fix problems in your audio but can also create new ones so you generally want to use it minimally.

You might be recording too quietly if you need to compress and then normalize to get it to the right noise level. Do you check your levels as you record?

I've always been told that auditions need to be raw audio, so if you think you need to do anything different, I would adjust other things like your room set up to ensure the best quality.

None? That sounds really annoying. If people want to hear my videos at 1.15x they can use the speed controls in youtube itself.
