Re: How To Splice Together Audio Tracks?

Audacity will smash all your tracks together top to bottom when you export.

You can do that ahead of time with Tracks > Mix > Mix and Render to a New Track.

The new track will be the mix.

Re: RMS Normalise

voila the recording fits ACX requirements. It solves ACX Check. ACX Check looks down the recording for the quietest portion and measures that. If your quiet portion is "fake," it will give you a false reading. Same thing happens when people Generate > Silence and stick that on the beginni...

Re: ACX and audiobooks profile questions

For example, it has to analyze your whole show and find the one 3/4-second chunk of sound that's quieter than all the others to measure for your background noise. It's very processor intensive.

Re: Edit a single track

Select the track by clicking just right of the up arrow. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/JusttRightOfTheUpArrow.jpg Time Shift Tool (sideways black arrows) will only move a whole track. If you have to time-shift a partial track, you'll need to copy (Control-D Duplicate) the track and then cu...
