Audacity Forum

Audacity > Edit> Preferences > Tracks > Meter Range... The beginning and end bars (left and right) are position and configuration tools. You can push all the bars around to do what you want. I thought the default was one over the other..... Did you get your new Audacity 2.1.2 from here (I'm assuming...

Turns out I can place the meters on top of the Audacity window taking up even less real estate and I have always been able to use either vertical or horizontal meters. The floating meter thing seems to be broken.

I sent ACX a short excerpt and they approved it, so I thought that I was ready to go. That would be our assumption, yes. They don't recommend noise reduction so I didn't use it.

We have a frequent request of "Help me make my voice into [something else]." Apart from some gaming voices which just involve adding distortion, it almost always fails. — A lot of broadcast announcing is acting. "NBC Radio News on the Hour..." is not the presentation of somebody ...

If you just File > Exported and then closed Audacity, then yeah. You're dead. Audacity mixed all those tracks down to stereo. If the show is still open, you can export each track. Select one individual track by clicking just above MUTE and then File > Export Selected... Repeat for the other tracks. ...

'frances' is a 2009 MBP.

We wince a little when someone says "noise cancelling." The noise cancellation part of the processing tends to take priority because that's the number that makes it into the ads. Oh, by the way, they sound OK. Then there's the power they need to run. That has to come from somewhere. On-boa...
