Since Audacity 2.3.3 will open MP3s, what you have isn't an MP3. You can use Media Info On-Line to discover what it really is. https://mediaarea.net/MediaInfoOnline I think it still works that you can install FFMpeg into your Audacity to open up many different file types. https://www.audacityteam.or...

Just to be clear, chances are good you're not both running at 44100.00. One of you may be running at 44100.01, for example. You're experiencing that tiny difference in sampling rates. In film terms, one of your cameras is slightly under or over-cranked. Effect > Change Speed is the least damaging of...

There's no shortage of tools to make you loud and firm and change the performance to anything you want after you record lower volume and "clean." If you overload and clip, there's better than even chance nobody will be able to rescue it and you will have wasted your time and created trash....

I bet you're wondering why there are no Audacity videos about audiobook production. I agree it would be a beautiful thing, but only valuable until the next Audacity version. Then it's a good chance we would need a new video. We have all we can do to keep up the printed word instructions through upda...
