There is an Audiobook Mastering Suite. https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Audiobook_Mastering These tools guarantee two of the three ACX sound specifications from your performance sound file.

I read a post on here that mentioned trying a 16-bit float You should leave the 32-bit float alone. Audacity needs that to avoid sound damage during editing. My guess is the sample rate. You can get an almost perfect one note shift by going between 48000 video rate and 44100 audio CD rate. You can ...

There is another example of this problem in the Audacity tools. There are two ways to identify individual musical tones in a performance. You can tell the timeline to display the work in rainbows with the colors representing different tones. This instead of traditional timeline blue waves. You can a...

A "bug" is when it happens to everybody else, too. It's good not to automatically use the "bug" word, particularly if you're requesting help from the people you're accusing of making mistakes. We should figure out what's wrong. How long is the show? Are you trying to use iCloud? ...

In most cases, if you set the device (in the Windows Sound control panel) to "1 channel mono", then the device driver will deliver just the left channel (the same as occurs on Linux).

Sometimes the maker of the interface will provide a solution in their driver software. Any luck there? It's not crazy talk to assume somebody is going to want to use your stereo interface for one microphone on Windows—and expect it to work.
