ACX Submissions cause a lot of problems. There are neither automatic correction tools nor automatic measuring tools. We did start a process for this. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=77174 I haven't touched this in a while. if I'm much louder than I need to be That's highly unl...

Can we assume play the second one after the first one is completed?

You may not want to do this job in Audacity. Audacity doesn't actually edit MP3. It converts the show to a high quality internal format and then edits that. When it converts back to MP3 at the end, the MP3 compression distortion goes up. Since you're just doing simple cutting, one of the pure MP3 ed...

Using the Pan controls, doesn't each side in the final show effectively double in volume? Add the dialog and the possibility of overload goes way up. That's why I picked "Make Left, etc. That' stays the same volume. One of the two techniques is going to have a mono/dialog imbalance compared wit...

if I plugged it in directly to the USB slot it would register

Center is added to both Left and Right. Throw away Low Frequency Effects and both of the Surround Channels. Th...

I am not trying to do anything fancy Yes, you are. You happen to have a program line-up that makes it look easy. In addition to the obvious L and R, you have dialog almost always in the Center (separate track), low frequency effects (rumble and boom) and Dial Norm which is the automatic volume cont...

Missing one item. Post what you have now. Use high quality MP3 rather than WAV. We don't have to analyze your waveforms as much as hear how you sound. MP3 will let you include more work. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=72887 Jumping in without that is just running in a vacuum....
