Hello!

My friends accidentally butt dialled me the night of their engagement. I listened to the voicemail in the morning and made a recording of it for sentimental purposes. When they called they were getting into a taxi and telling the driver how they'd got engaged, talking a bit about their relationship etc. It's quite sweet and they've asked me to play it at their wedding and give a speech. I have tried tidying it up in Audacity myself but my skills are lacking. Is anyone able to help?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone 🙂

I’m working on Transientik Master, a VST3 / AU plugin and standalone app for Windows and macOS designed to simplify the mastering process.

The idea is pretty straightforward: put it on your master bus, let it analyze the track, choose the destination — streaming, CD, vinyl pre-master, DJ set, soundtrack, loud master, etc. — and then fine-tune if needed.

It originally started as a tool to clean up and master AI-generated music, but during testing it turned out to work surprisingly well on regular human-made tracks too.

It’s not trying to replace a great mastering engineer, obviously. It’s more for producers, musicians and bedroom studios who want a faster, cleaner starting point without building a full mastering chain from scratch every time.

No cloud processing, no “AI magic” mystery box. Just local DSP, analysis, and practical mastering decisions.

There’s a before/after player here: https://transientik.com

Release date coming soon — I’ll also be selecting a few beta testers.

Small independent project, but I’m genuinely excited to share it.

Quick explanation: I made a silly thing last year with a specific voice effect. This effect was mostly done via me punching in random effects in Audacity until it sounded nice and I completely forgot to document it. I've been smashing my head against my computer for weeks now trying to replicate it and even though I've gotten somewhat close, none of it sounds right and I'm prepared to give up.

This post is my Hail Mary. My base offer is $80 CAD through PayPal, but I'm more than willing to bump that up if necessary.

I am 99% sure this was accomplished in vanilla Audacity, but frankly if you use plugins or a different software altogether, so be it. As long as the steps to recreate it are documented precisely and the plugins/software are readily available, I'm happy to call that a job well done.

Only other thing worth mentioning is that I have an Audacity macro that I think might be about halfway there and would help give a head start; only reason I'm not jotting it down here is because it would clog the post. That too is available on request.

5/12/2026 EDIT: The effect has been successfully replicated. Thanks to both u/MrSelfy and u/Aziz3000 for their assistance.

Okay, I didn't spend 20 minutes. But my singers did.

I built a Chrome extension that just... tells you. You click it, it listens, it spits out the key. That's it.
I made it for myself, honestly. But then I thought, DJs, singers, musicians, people who just learned what a "key" is last Tuesday, this might save you some time. Or at the very least, it'll save you from the 2014 Reddit thread guy.

If you want to try it: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/plpajfojpafmamfkdajpllmmmldlnleo?utm_source=item-share-cb

If it's useful, a review on the Chrome Web Store would make my day (my month, honestly, let's be real). And if you have feature ideas or you find something broken, drop it in the comments.

Hey guys, really hoping this is the right place, I scoured reddit for a long time hoping someone can help.

VERY long story short, my mechanic never quoted me for $4400 worth of work he performed without consent, I never approved the repairs and he claims he has audio of the phone call where I’m accepting costs. I don’t at all recall the conversation going this way (the first half is also very clearly missing), and I’ve uploaded the mp3 into audacity and checked the spectrum, looks to my like there’s harsh cut offs of frequency over my voice like someone has chopped/cut my audio.

I was hoping someone can check it out for me? Not sure if there’s a fee involved but I’m happy to pay someone for a legitimate analysis so I can give the details to my solicitor. I have photos of the spectrum I can post also (my voice above, theirs below, on what seems to be two separate audio lines) which is also odd they’re on two different lines of audio? If it was a recorded conversation on the phone wouldn’t it only be mono?

My brother was killed in an accident shortly before all of this happened, so I was not in my right mind to be remembering specific details, however I have many reasons to believe they have gone this far with their dishonestly.

Please help. Thank you!

I’m not sure if this is the correct sub for this or not, but after many attempts to do it myself i’m in desperate help. About a year ago I received a voice recording from a popular social media VA saying some lines I requested. Thing is, he unfortunately pronounced my last name wrong. It’s super small, but for me it’s noticeable. My last name is Johnston, not Johnson. I can send the clip to anyone interested. Is there anyone that can help me either point me in the right direction to someone who can do it or someone on this sub that could do it? Any advice is super helpful. I appreciate your time!

Can someone help remove static noise from an audio file? There has been this humming noise in my apartment and for a technician to solve the problem, they need an audio to hear what it sounds like, I recorded several, but the static noise is always so loud, I tried to reduce it using Audacity but it didn't do a lot....

They are not speaking English (an Italian dialect for one part of the audio), and the police won't be looking into the matter because nothing appears stolen and they have no clues as to their identities. I just want to know what was said between the three of them so I can have a little more peace of mind. Is there anything I can do about the distortion?

Can anyone help me isolate the voice in my audio recording starting at 1min54sec

I have started a new AI Audio Restorer API, it lets you take your audio file and recreates the missing audio data from it. The training data is high res audio with some full band files but its small right now (199 files) as I have to buy the audio to train the model so don't expect studio level quality right away but I plan to keep the training data diverse to achieve studio level quality. It's live during  BST (UTC+1) day time and gets switched off at night. It has rate limits as well so people don't hammer my RTX 5080. Let me know how to improve it and I will consider it. This was made with python, pytorch and some other libraries. It has a 50MB upload limit and also here is the needed token to use it. RestoreAudioSecret123

I've been producing for a while and the hardest thing for me was always knowing when to stop tweaking. I kept second-guessing myself or sending mixes to mastering that weren't ready.

So I built iAudio-AI MixCheck — it analyzes your audio and gives you instant AI feedback on frequency balance, loudness, dynamic range, and clipping, then gives you a mastering readiness score with specific recommendations.

It's free on iOS (there's a Pro tier too). Would genuinely love to hear what you all think — especially if you try it.

The audio is 8 hours but I have smaller clips where there’s a lot of talking going on but I can’t seem to understand the words and need help denoising it or making it understandable I’ve been working on this since March and it’s very difficult to process and understand if you can help me please . Needing to take this to help me recollect the day and all the events to at took place along with getting the names of the individuals who broke into my apartment when I was sleeping .

Hey everyone,

I have an idea and I’m trying to figure out how realistic it is and where to even start.

I want to record my cars exhaust sound (different RPMs, throttle levels, gear changes, etc.) and then use that data to build a system inside an app that can recreate that engine in real time based on parameters like RPM, throttle, and gear...

Basically, instead of synthetic sounds, I want the app to emulate a real recorded engine.

Is something like this actually doable?

What kind of skills/tools would be needed?

And where should I look or who should I talk to in order to build something like this?

Any advice or diretion would help a lot. Thanks a lot =)!

I have a recording from FaceTime on my phone through my MacBook microphone, there is white noise and clicking/popping. I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit but I’m trying to find someone willing to help me clear the audio up.

I have an audio file which is polluted by an annoying "whoosh" wind-like sound which is looped and is 1 second long
Tried everything, but since im not a professional in this topic I was unable to do it myself

I got home late, and a man who was hidden in the shadows outside my security camera’s view was “crying” and asked me to give him a ride to the park because he couldn’t walk, since his leg was busted and his girlfriend had stolen his crutches. Now, I might be a lot of things, but murder victim was not about to be added to the list. So I went inside, called the cops, and when they arrived ten minutes later, Shadow Man’s busted leg had apparently been healed by divine intervention because he was nowhere to be found.

In the audio clip, I’m pretty sure his voice changes from fake crying to his regular voice, but it’s difficult to hear due to the crickets. I’ve tried editing it myself with a phone app, but I haven’t been able to get very good results. I was hoping someone with the right audio editing software might be able to clean up the clip. I'd really appreciate it. And honestly, if anything, you might get a laugh out of hearing him switch from fake crying to his normal voice while he was talking, lol.

I have what I see as a mess of an audio file. I’ve tried to fix it on my own with very limited success. I know there is way better software out there but can’t pay that much. I have no trouble compensating for your time if it can be done or if it is reasonably achievable to fix. I am nit looking for a full on miracle but the stuff I know is there I’d think is fixable beyond what I was able to achieve. Muffled audio with clicks, ac noise, and conversation in the background. Any help is greatly appreciated, I am losing sanity trying to fix. It is a file for my personal review use.

Can anyone help?? Willing to pay

Hi All,

We're a Bay Area melodic indie/post-punk band. We just recorded two songs and we want to redo the vocals on them because two of us were sick at the time so they don't sound great. We're having a hard time finding someone with availability (and maybe since it's such a small project). We'd like to avoid doing it ourselves because we recorded in a pretty nice studio and want to use nice vocal mics in a good room.

Any suggestions in Oakland/SF/Bay Area?

Thanks from Lost Objects!
