I´m NOT in pause mode.

No. That makes things turn gray, not white.

Which Windows and which Audacity? Spanish version?

My personal favorite is Normalize to -3.2, not -3.0. Volume peaks in your show can change slightly when you make the MP3 file. It's just how MP3 works. Volume can go up slightly. If it does, you may violate the ACX peak volume standards which are exactly -3.0. Using -3.2 gives you a little breathing...

Oh, there is one more. Some Olympus recorders can do tricks with the microphones and you don't record a plain, ordinary stereo sound show. Which model do you have?

All Stereo to Mono does is smash the left and right together and divide by two (to keep the volume correct). If yours goes to a straight line when you do that, then the stereo left-right show wasn't two near-copies of each other, they were mirror images (attached). It's well into the 99.9% certain t...

If you just can't make it work, create a forum test clip and post it here. There are some microphone systems that can have very difficult sound problems. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/TestClip/Record_A_Clip.html You might consider what would happen if you don't make a very quick deadline.

Restart Audacity and import the final edit AIFF file. Turn on View > Show Clipping. Do you get a forest of thin red lines on the right? Those are clipping sound damage. This is where it gets messy. If you Saved an Audacity Project, you could open up the project to the original two files on the timel...

There isn't one. Generate your tone and then Duplicate it with Control-D. Make it stereo with the drop-down menu on the left of the top track > Make Stereo Track. We both know it's not "stereo," but it will play as Left and Right in stereo players.

Projects save all the tracks, positions, volumes, etc, but they don't save UNDO.

After I clean up the audio That's usually the hard part right there. I want to make sure that the time of silence is consistent between the pieces of music on the track. You don't do that at the content level, you do that at the burn level. You produce the works tight so they would sound OK if you ...
