Does your spacebar work normally in other apps? I have one keyboard where the spacebar works only when it's convenient and the time seems right. CRASH! Audacity freezes and stops responding to controls, or it vanishes taking the work with it? Next time it does that, don't just immediately relaunch A...

I know you're glassy-eyed and drooling right now, but please know we have a terrific track record for getting people published.

The Trebor piece above is quality patching in addition to mastering. There is a test ACX applies after all that. I called it Human Quality Control. An actual person listens to the show.

The coffee is just now kicking in. You don't need Audacity 2.1.3 for the equalization tool, you need it for RMS Normalize . That's a lot harder. RMS Normalize was designed for audiobook mastering. There are no tools I know of which can work directly on loudness. Without that, Audiobook reading is a ...

can no longer support older Mac computers Newer Macs. The older ones still work fine. Audacity 2.3.3 runs under OS-X 10.9.5 (this machine) and 10.13.6 my field laptop. Records, too. I think we're witnessing the intentional assassination of Macs. If you walk into an Apple store, their first question...
