How do you make your voice sound clear on the audacity program?

on the music program Audacity how can you make your song sound like as if it was recorded in a studio? like make it really clear and stuff, and loud.How do you make your voice sound clear on the audacity program?
This is called mixing and mastering. You will want to use the fx at the top to do this, but this isnt something someone can just explain. People go to years of school or read many many books to learn how to do this. I pay someone else to do it for me even though I went to school for audio engineering and have been producing for 8 years now. Its not really something you want to try doing unless you get some books or learn online and expect it to take a few weeks before you learn most of it. But thats how you would do it, with the fx on the menu at the top of the screen. The first person is also right, you want studio sound, you need studio equipment and room.How do you make your voice sound clear on the audacity program?
The other guys make very valid points and I can't disagree with them.


However, even with less than optimum equipment good, but not studio quality, results can be achieved.


The secret lies in the recording technique.


What type of mic are you using?


A capacitor mic,like those on a headset or a dynamic like the mics singers use on stage?


Use a mic stand. If you haven't got one tape it to a broom handle or anything so you don't hold it. Handling noise will be recorded as well.


Don't swallow the mic. The closer you get to it the more bottom end or bass you will get. This is known as proximity effect and can make the recording more muffled. Sing directly into the mic from about 1 - 2 inches away.


Singing from this distance will also minimize the thumps from P's and the hiss from S's.


Take note of the recording level on the VU meter.


It needs to peak near the top but make sure it doesn't stay there.


As long as it hovers around the 3/4 mark or just over the level is good.


If it stays at the top the whole time the sound will distort.


Recording at the 3/4 level will minimize any noise picked by the mic from the surroundings. If you record too low and need to increase the level later the background noise and any electronic noise will be increased also. Even the noise from your computer fan can be picked up.


As far as effects are concerned they can enhance a recording but can't compensate for content which is badly recorded.


Input = output.


Hope this helps a bit.


Remember that Audacity is a freeware domestic application.


It cannot hope to be anywhere near a professional studio program.
Audacity is a good app, but nothing will compensate for a cheap mic or poor acoustics during the recording.
