The upcoming Audacity Version 3 doesn't store projects that way.

You do have to be careful what the tools are telling you. If you've been doing this for a while, you may have the old ACX Check. It had restrictions for show length and is no longer recommended. The new ACX Check is here. https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Analyze_Plug-ins#ACX_Check As you n...

There are other ways to measure this. Drag-select some of the offending work (even if you can't see any blue waves). Analyze > Contrast > Measure Selection. That measurement should be -60dB or quieter (ACX). We use -65dB (even quieter) as a recommendation rather than what happened to you, where you'...

Will that work or is there a better way??? Production Silence isn't dead silent. They have a phrase "room tone," the sound the room makes when the performer isn't making any sound. That's what is supposed to be in there. If all the other chapters passed, you can borrow the room tone from ...

I don't know anybody who does this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Get good at just recording the show, we can help there, and then ship the work off to someone else for post production editing. If posting the works on-line is too much of a problem, (my internet connection won't do that), pus...

The little AU files are six second sound files and should play in Audacity. Do they? (don't save anything). You can also open up the AUP project manager file in a text editor. Again, don't save anything. It should have pseudo-English words in it. This one's been scrubbed up a bit for its picture, bu...

Don't let the Log Line throw you. There's a British show I like called "All The Stations." It has since expanded into other similar venues and variations, but the original show did OK. The episodes have between 50,000 and 100,000 views. They generated a whole ecosystem, format, and fan bas...

I suspect you're not going to be able to swoop from one click to the next as slick as you think. I only ever use three zoom tools and one scroll. There's pages of tools and I suspect if you get really good at it, you might use more, but this works for me. Command+E Zoom into a selection. Command+3 Z...

Do you have an old show you can point us to? The forum will only support about ten seconds of stereo WAV, 20 seconds in Mono, and longer yet in MP3.
