Audacity Forum

You need to pay attention to your environment and your performance. If you have a nice quiet room and you're announcing an audiobook, I like occasional voice peaks somewhere in the -10dB to -6dB range. This is visually handy because it's half-way up the size of the blue waves on the timeline. You sh...

The warning is just guessing at it. The first suggestion may be more likely. Do you use Skype or other chat or conference program? Games? Macs like to make you think programs are closed but they're just "napping" in the doc, usually at the bottom of the screen. Audacity is running right hi...

Jump to a specific time is one of the windows on the bottom of the display. Do you just want to slide the display left and right? Shift + Scroll Wheel.

If you have wild sound, also remember to "look ahead" to make sure the gate is already open when the first sound arrives. If you don't do that, you can have errors where the program chops off the first sounds of each word. The early broadcast gates had that problem. That's in addition to b...

I don't think Audacity has any tools which can do that.

Is there an actual sound job behind this? That's how Noise Gate works. It either passes sound or it doesn't. There's little or no middle-ground processing. Audacity is a sound or show manager. I don't know of any way to make Noise Gate tell us the state of what it's doing. Another problem with your ...
