Audacity Forum

It's not unusual for a performer to wander a little in expression and volume over a 20 minute chapter. I corrected your chapter...and then sent it to Diane instead of you. Laura, meet Diane. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=93800#p316621 I'll be straightening this out now. Koz

I think I stepped in it. Your hero is Clarissa, not Claire. That's not your show.

When you reinstalled, there should have been an option to reset settings and preferences. Did you tick that box? Reinstalling Audacity doesn't reset Audacity.

I just didn't take the user values far enough.

I have an odd complaint. Starting from the download (perfectly lovely, by the way), tell me who you are. Your posting scrolled from the active help forum window, so I have to go looking for you. There's no identifying information in the download page past what I can glean by actually playing the wor...

I got a correction to work on chapter 1. I need to pause and collect how I did it.

I've never seen that before. DC Offset. Good you caught it. If it's worse than a very tiny amount, it will restrict sound volume because one side of the blue waves will overload (100%) before the other.
