You're just dancing around:

Save Project.
Save Sound File.

Shoot it and get it over with. I have a blindfold here somewhere. Western bandanna style of course.

This burns me every couple of months. I carefully select a small portion of a show and Export it. No, that's not what happens. Audacity insists on exporting the whole show unless I explicitly select Export-Selected. Since I'm usually in a hurry, it takes a couple of passes before I wake up. "My...

I think the negative gradations is an old, valid complaint of mine. It didn't bubble up to the top because I never use Waveform dB and I suspect few other people do, either. It's harder to edit in dB, almost impossible if you are in values higher than 60. The dB range matches the meters. If it didn'...
