Audio-recording while presenting on Discord

I tested this using Audacity 3.2.1.

In Audacity Settings: these are the defaults, but check that they're set to this:


Then, start recording in Audacity. Verify that waveforms are getting created




Then open Discord, go into Settings via the gear icon in the bottom left:


Then navigate to "Voice & Video" and click the Let's Check button:

As you talk now, you should see the microphone level indicator move, and the computer should echo back what you're saying with a delay. At the same time, Audacity should still be recording.



If all that happens, click Stop Testing and feel free to stop the recording in Audacity. You can restart recording whenever you want after hopping into the voice chat.

Suggestions

1. Keep in mind, this will not record anyone else's voice on Discord. If someone says something to you, it will just be recorded as silence.

2. Before you start presenting, it can help to save the audacity project to a directory where you want it. If your machine crashes mid-session, you can reopen the audacity project and continue recording where you left off.

3. Make sure you save the project as soon as your session is over.

4. If you're going to send the recording to someone else for post-production, zip up and send the entire directory.

Morning (beta)

This content is in beta. DO NOT SHARE (yet)!!! I have a new file for you. But this one is... different. Do you love hearing the alarm in the morning? If so, stop reading now. Everyone still reading? Good. How well can a day start when we rely on triggering our fight-or-flight instinct just to jolt ourselves out of sleep? Or maybe you just hit the snooze button, because when you hear an alarm, the first thing you want to do is go back to sleep. So why not have a different kind of alarm? An alarm that does not jolt you awake but rather gently instructs you to... wait for it... go back to sleep. You probably won't fall super deep into sleep given that your mind is awake enough to hear the instructions, but you won't have to wake up yet. Rather, you can keep drifting, relaxing, listening to the suggestion giving your mind and body time to build up your energy, prepare for the day ahead. Then, once your body is ready to go and infused with energy, you can jump out of bed and ...

Recording Files with Waveform - Part 2

Image
 Ok, now let's actually record something. Recording some sound. Select the Welcome tab in the top left. Click "New Project" in the main screen. In the dialog, enter a project name in the "Name" box and choose the location where your project and your recordings will be stored. Then choose Podcast in the template selector. Click "Create Project". You now have a sample podcast. Note that it's been pre-mixed to sound better than a blank project. For example, if you want to add background noise, you can add it into the "Music Bed" track (after deleting the clips that are already there), and its level will be automatically lowered (or "ducked") when you speak. Once you've got a sense for how the sample project works, delete all the sample clip (press CTRL/CMD+A, and then DELETE). Your voice will go into the Host track. Let's record there. First, click on the clip in the Host track and press "Delete". Now, go to the s...

Recording files with Waveform - Part 1

 So, this will be my quickstart guide for anyone that wants to make hypnofiles. If you don't have the first clue about audio software and audio editing, this guide is for you. ⚠️ While I will try to be as thorough as I can in my illustrations, there are many differences across systems and devices. Some part of the setup process or user experience may differ for you. Please do not DM me on any platform asking me for help with setting up or using the software. I get far too many messages already and will unconditionally decline to provide any tech support over DMs, however quick it may seem. I'm happy to answer questions in the Erotic Hypnocult discord server when time permits. Others there will likely have gone through these steps as well. Part 1. Setup 1. Install the audio drivers for your microphone or audio interface, especially if you're using Windows. The exact process will vary from device to device, so consult your microphone's or interface's documentation if...
