I updated the Audacity notes. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/audacity.html The mastering page is the whole thing. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/ACXMastering/ACXMastering.html I don't think compressor is mentioned at all in there. Many of the older tools and fancy applications went away when Set...

I remember now. AudioBook Processing Tool Notes (Audacity 2.1.0) That's not a how-to. That's just a list of tools I posted because I could never remember the settings. You should never need all of them. I'll change that note. Also, I wrote that before I wrote the Mastering thing and before Steve wro...

drag files into the Audacity window. What kind of files specifically? You can also Right-Click > Open With, Control-Click > Open With and File > Import. So there's no shortage of ways to open a sound file. ... ... I can't either, so it may be something that happened in Audacity 2.1.2. Koz

-1dB and should be tweaked up to -3dB? It's down to -3dB. Maximum volume is 0dB sound gets quieter as the numbers increase. We'll make a note of that. It's very difficult to hear a 2dB shift in volume, so as a practical matter, you should just be consistent with your work. You are likely to experie...
