The settings I posted are for sound normalized to 0dB Right. That's why I preceded the correction with LF Rolloff and Normalize to 0 in the Processing List. I'm finding it more and more valuable to precede or bracket processing steps with either Amplify or Normalize. It eliminates or greatly reduce...

What kind of file is it? If it's something Audacity doesn't recognize, it could be any length and Audacity won't open it. Make sure your'e in Audacity 2.1.1 and install the FFMpeg software package. It's an extender for different types of sound files. Scroll down. http://audacityteam.org/download/mac...
