On the internet, nobody can tell you're Dutch. Isn't that where they make hollandaise sauce? Ba-dump, Tish! OK, so that's extraordinarily unusual. Is there anything unusual about your machine? Are you dual-boot with Parallels or some other program? For a while I ran a Mini primary boot on a FireWire...

Did you mean you made one side a WAV and the other side an MP3? That's different.

You can use a compressed archive file such as ZIP. You tell zip which files or folders you want incorporated and it will make them all one big zip file suitable for shipping or uploading. PKZip for Windows?? I'm not a Windows elf. However, unless you made changes, the MP3 file is a poor quality copy...

Choose a clip whose loudness you like. That can be your standard clip. Effect > Equalization: A-Weight, Length Maximum. Note where the light blue sections of the blue waves on the timeline are or where the lower of the two colors on the sound meters are. This is your standard. Make a screen capture ...

I did a quick interpretation of the A Weight Curve (attached). Download it to your computer, open Audacity with any sound file. Effect > Equalization... > Save/Manage Curves > Import. Choose that file. That should give you an equalization curve like the attached picture. Change the "length"...

This is from another thread: "A Weighing" takes into account how your ear works. You are warned against audio processing using RMS values. You find very rapidly that bass notes which have a terrifically large RMS value take over the processing and produce annoying pumping effects during mu...

You can do this with the bouncing light sound meters, too. The color change about 2/3 of the way up should be the same value as the light and dark blue bands except in real time. You should make the sound meters very much larger for this kind of work. Click the right-hand edge and pull sideways. htt...

(i.e., is it an average, what's the unit, which Audacity function shows it) You would think this would be a button push or simple set of tools, but it isn't. Most Audacity tools are simpletons. Like Amplify and Normalize, they work on peaks in the blue waves under the assumption that most of the sh...

My vote is that a red warning line should be shown whenever a sample touches or exceeds 0 dB. I don't agree and neither does the person whose thread this is. It's not "I might possibly create sound damage any second now if I'm not careful." The red bars indicate the presence of Clipping D...

I don't believe Audacity is available as an app. Just Windows, Mac and Linux.
