Audacity Forum

On the Windows version, the installer should ask you if you want to reset all the preferences and settings. You should say yes.

So it's probably no longer a mystery how Ian got out to 39 forum chapters to get his system running. You're half-way there!!

Or, as I said in the post you're probably just reading, post the segment after measuring it and tell us what you did.

"The whole chapter passes ACX, but this short test segment measures this: yadda, yadda, yadda.

Us not knowing what you're doing causes a lot of problems.

That's just knowing what the tool is doing. At least once, somewhere in the hour long show, one peak made it out to 3.2. That counts. When you supply a test clip, you should analyze that one clip and quote the findings. For the sake of argument, suppose you supplied a segment of the performance that...

Audacity will pile them up and try to play them at the same time. Use the MUTE and SOLO buttons to the left of each track to tell the system which trac...

Where did you get the MP4 from? If it was a $0.99 download from iTunes, it's copy protected. That's not to say you can't use it. If it plays OK in iTunes, make a playlist with it inside and burn the playlist to an Audio CD. Then rip the CD back into iTunes. That song will copy and open. That's the t...

I tested it, using the traditional method And it's right about there that we spin out of control. Select the whole clip by clicking just above MUTE. Effect > Amplify and read the top number > Cancel. I get 4.7 for peak, not 3.2. I get 4.6 when I use flynwill's auto analysis tool. That's a rounding ...
