Audacity Forum

I haven't seen this posted in a dog's age. Kill the blue wave Percent Scale. Audacity-dB-Range.jpg This one's practically a "gimme." Simple graphic change with straightforward, apparent benefits. I'm sure there are dependencies here and there, but compared to the current crop of Audacity p...

Since these are critical recordings for you, it's probably a good idea to post a sound sample on the forum when you get it all working. We can diagnose many normal announcing errors and keep you from sending damaged recordings to a client.
