Re: Adjusting volume within a track

Envelope tool. Middle-top of the six block tools in the upper left of the timeline. That will launch steering lines in your timeline. You can establish pivot points and change the volume from anything to anything else second by second or better.

Edit > Preferences > Audio I/O > selections on the bottom.

Sometimes you need to restart Audacity after you change one of those.

Re: When i take out my backround noise the track sounds wier

This is where you get killed by not posting in the right place on the forum. The forum has sections for Windows, Mac, etc. and the different versions of Audacity.

I have some very definite ideas if your on a Mac.

Re: delayed playback while recording

I'm going with no. Audacity doesn't do any processing in real time. The best you can do is the internal delay of the computer which is never more than a small fraction of a second.

Re: Audio Suddenly Stopped Playing

<<<I tried other saved files>>> Audacity does not Save sound files. It saves Audacity Projects. A project is a collection of files managed by its AUP file. Launch Audacity first and then File > Open the AUP file rather than double clicking on the AUP file. It works better, I have no idea why. http:/...

Re: When i take out my backround noise the track sounds wier

Are you on a PC? You can try to install Audacity 1.3. The noise reduction tools in 1.3 were, in my opinion, much better and much less likely to damage your show. You can install both Audacity 1.2 and 1.3 as long as you don't use them both at once. Any noise reduction software needs to get a Noise Pr...

Re: Shortcuts with ALT on Mac

<<<recent builds from CVS>>>

We assume not the American {word rejected} (chemist) chain?

<<<shortcuts don't work until you do something with the mouse.>>>

Can you post the original complaint? That's a little vague, even for a right-brain Mac user.

Re: increasing gain: hardware or software?

<<<Any thoughts?>>> Stop using a PC? Nobody is going to throw awards at PC sound card makers for their high quality and superior performance. Something about nobody willing to paying more than $12 for a sound card. On the other hand, even though Macs will not handle microphone level, their analog li...

Re: Importing a WAV file

Most people close their eyes really tight about this issue, but the sound on a Music CD is not normal WAV format. It's missing a bunch of header information and other changes. We assume they did this to make the music as small as possible when they designed the format. So, you need CD Ripper softwar...
