Also what exactly do you mean by "mob memory" That's where everybody has seen something that looks a lot like Hover Info and would be willing to swear absolutely that it is, or was, a thing. I have two working copies of 2.0.3 and neither of them seems to have Hover Info, whether or not I ...

Audacity used to do that

I went back to 2.0.3 and none of them (I didn't hit them all) have hover info.

If somebody asked me cold whether I'd seen this or not, I would have said yes. Mob Memory?

Now it`s doing something new. You're a candidate for a student or even professional for hire to help you. We can continue to troubleshoot through the forum, but if you have forever changing problems, this might take a while. Do you have Windows set for Auto Update? The last few Windows updates crea...

Are you following an instructional posting or YouTube video? We should remember this is a forum , users hel...

I don't want to make the discussions non-genuine. Auto Ducking can produce pumping and noise artifacts which can sound profoundly non-genuine. The audiobook producers have a thing against "Distractions" (their word). Anything that takes the listener out of the experience is to be avoided....

why it is set to -3.5dB? The ACX audiobook standard for sound peaks (either up or down) is not to exceed -3dB. Conversion from WAV to MP3 can cause sound errors, so I picked -3.5dB as a mastering goal. Nobody can hear a half dB "error." It's worth the error because the first step in Audio...

I do not yet understand about "automatic ducking." You key a music track to a voice, so that the music volume "ducks down" whenever the announcer speaks, for example. It takes two tracks, the key announcer and the background. Your key voice and the track to be patched are the sa...

I noticed that the volume of Bill's voice was getting less and less as time went on. That's one reason I wanted you to talk about how you're recording Skype. That's not easy. I can't account for that volume change other than serious instability when you cross sound channels by accident. You also ha...
