The blue waves are not dB. They're percent. So 0.5 is 50%. 1.0 is 100%. I know that audio goes by dB and not percent, but this blue wave display makes editing easier. You can switch the blue waves to dB with the drop-down menu on the left of the track, but you will see it becomes more difficult to e...

What else is it doing? That machine should be able to handle that job without being able to go to lunch during processing. Audacity doesn't natively use every possible hardware shortcut and speed pipe, but still. That's the speed I get on my five year old Mac Mini with external FireWire drives. What...

No and not likely to be, either. Human hearing stops around 20Hz.

Did you actually install Audacity, or are you running it from the .dmg? Did you double click the .dmg and then drag the audacity folder to /Applications? Did you read the little text file that came with it? * To install Audacity, copy the Audacity folder to /Applications or any other location of you...
