Re: Convert stereo to mono in Audacity?

From memory since I can't find it either. Black down arrow on the left > Split Stereo Track. Using the little slider, reduce each track level to -6. Black down arrow > Mono (each track). Select one track, Shift-Select the other one (both selected). Project > Quick Mix. That should give you one sing...

Re: Kristal (KAE) & Audacity mixdown problem

Kristal is a great little progam for beginners like me, but it has its limitations. Not sure what volume envelopes are. Mix down to wave is basically automatic, just one step with no way to tweak volume settings for individual tracks. I have found that you can cut up the tracks and lower/raise volum...
