For your interest I now have a proven Macro which passes 99% of the time.:- Normalise>Equalisation>Compressor>Normalise>Limiter>Compressor>Limiter....... If RMS is too low I repeat Compressor>Limiter which always works Where is the Macro or what are the tool settings? There is no Equalization any m...

Is there such a thing? No. Audacity traditionally doesn't edit video. It will open many video file formats and extract the sound, but you still need a video editor to put the new sound back in when you're done. Audacity would have to do nothing more with the video than just play it in sync with the...

Here it is. Buried in the justifiably dead archives. This is what ACX Check used to look like. Apparently there was an early ACX-Check app and it wasn't entirely stable. ACX Audiobook Testing You can do ACX AudioBook acceptance testing with normal Audacity tools. This will only test against technica...

it appears that ACX themselves have produced what I take to be a copy of yours or something to frustrate yours. Historically, ACX doesn't even acknowledge our existence. Our only direct contact with them didn't go well. We spent most of the time talking past each other. I suspect strongly they did ...

I put a phone on speakerphone and put it by my computer with audacity recording I wondered why more people don't do that. Given you're paying attention, that's far less complicated than trying to throw wires back and forth between the phone and computer. You can improve the quality by padding the d...

If Effect > Amplify didn't return anything, then there is no recording. Did you get the bouncing sound meter and fat blue waves while you were recording? Those are the confidence indicators that you were actually recording a show. If you were recording on top of an existing edit session, my first gu...

every once and a while I would have bad crackling My first pass would be to fix Voicemeeter. Any idea why that's happening? Is your computer trying to do too many things at once? Are you using Cloud or other on-line storage? That can cause some serious sharing and timing problems with Audacity. Try...

I'd like to have option of running two stereo tracks. Not that I know of. Many people identify or tag errors and edits by clapping or making some other loud sound so the error can be easily be identified later by watching spikes in the blue waves. Repeat the last whole sentence when you make a mist...

Export Constant Bitrate. Screen Shot 2020-03-02 at 18.55.00.png It could be said that you should not be using MP3 anywhere in the middle of production. As DVDdoug above, MP3 gets its small files by cleverly throwing away sounds here and there. If you re-encode an existing MP3, it does it twice. By t...

There were several questions up there. What app were you using?

Open in Audacity. Select the whole clip with the SELECT button on the left.

Effect > Amplify > OK. Don't change any settings.

What happens?

Start planning what will happen if that interview never comes back.
