Audacity Forum

One of the things Import Raw does is ask you in detail about the technical specifications of your sound file. You will not be able to do that, so Import will fail, or do something unpredictable.

when i start monitoring the wave still goes all the way to the right. That didn't come out right. How are you setting the blue waves and/or the sound meter? The -6dB or 50% (same sound measured differently) is a fuzzy target. Nobody will beat you with sticks if you miss it in the course of normal a...

Vocaroo sounds sort of louder for me than Audacity. It's not unusual for audio applications to come with their own, individual playback volume controls. People complain that Audacity isn't as loud as another application on the same clip. Reset the playback volume using the Device Toolbar. http://ma...

I got a passable Noise Reduction to work on your supplied clip, but I don't speak French, so I can't tell if I did a good enough job or not. That's on another machine, so it will take a bit to post it. If it is barely usable, then it means nothing because I know what happens to small airplane noises...

We recommend very strongly to do all your personal production in WAV (Microsoft)—the Audacity default sound format—and only stoop to making an MP3 just before you submit. I know some people think they need to do everything in MP3 because that's what ACX requires. No. There is a trick to submission. ...

I should have a -60 noise floor while recording, before even starting to edit. They do and you should. That's studio conditions. They also say under no circumstances should you use Noise Reduction, and it's been our experience that many people can't make ACX Conformance without a little. In my opin...

Scroll down to where it ways Optional Downloads > LAME MP3 Encoder.

Install it and see if you can make an MP3 sound file out of that short clip we've been using.
