I did see one guy standing in front of a room fan and demonstrating different wind socks he had made for his recorder. That's perfectly valid. Thumping wind noise can yield to a good Dead Cat®.

"It worked on YouTube, how come I can't get it to work?" We're familiar with that problem. How many different examples of background noise did he have? Getting rid of fan rumble and wind noise is very different from computer fan whine, and I'm assuming that's what you have. Computer fans d...

You could get close with the Amplify effect and Chains. You can set Amplify so whatever you started with, the peak sound will finish at a certain level. Chains is the Audacity version of Batch. If you do build a Chain for this, try it out on a small subset of your songs that you have safely backed u...

That's....... worse. What happened to the volume of the performance? Attach (at the bottom) is your performance on the timeline around 5 sec.

Click the drop-down menus to the left of the top track > Make Stereo Track. Use the drop-down tools again to Split Stereo Tr...
