Audacity Forum

I'm interested that the entire top third of that log is complaining bitterly about not being able to manage FFMpeg. Did you install new FFMpeg and Lame appropriate to Audacity 2.0.5? I don't think you can reuse old ones. The middle illustration has no File Name entry. That's dangerous. I'd be drilli...

I did this Effect > Equalization curve a while back to see if I could do it. I thought I lost it. Attached. Copy the values from the picture. You can move the dots around more left to get lower pitched bass and more right to get higher. Decrease the up and down size of the curve to lessen it's effec...
