Audacity Forum

Thanks for responding. I tried what you said, and I can't get it to work. I was trying to change the original project. Should I first export to WAV and then reduce the WAV file? I can't reduce the original project file? First I changed it in the wrong place and got distortion (voice very low and slo...

I have a USB condenser microphone that I can use on the Mac. I bought it for the PC, but it will work on either. It's a Samson C01U. I got it refurbished at J&R so it was pretty cheap. It came with a nice little desk stand and the sound quality is great.

Thanks.
