Good catch. However, ACX Check is not the only tool that goes bonketty-poo. If you decrease the size of a whole presentation with the envelope tool, you will find that neither Amplify nor Normalize will increase the size of the waves over the "new," lower 100% points, wherever they ended u...

OK. The object of this test is to make sure you can get blue waves louder than half-way (0.5) and louder than -6dB on the sound meter. That's what fails if your mono/stereo thing is adjusted wrong. Yours is working perfectly. So you're good to go. As a fuzzy rule, you should be announcing so the bou...

Do you have View > Show Clipping turned on?

It can do that when the work is a highly compressed, non-MP3 file. Where did it come from? You can set Windows to show you filename extensions and the revelations will probably show that you really have MyVoice.m4a or other format. If you install the FFMpeg software into Audacity, it will open up ma...

There's another reason, too. The wiki and other information pages are constantly changing and updating. That would be a nightmare with a printed book.

I'm pretty sure that just doesn't happen. Past the enormous amount of work, the best way to format the works is PDF. PDF is an Adobe paid license. Audacity is free. Are you volunteering to do the conversion work? Audacity is an all-volunteer operation. Do you have a license? The same thing happened ...

If the noise is predominantly traffic noise or air conditioning, then buying a portable recorder will provide little or no improvement. It only works if you have computer, connection or electronic problems. Those vanish. If you're trying to record in the approach path of an airport, we can't help y...

Have you identified where the noise is coming from? What he said. Record a short passage and then stop breathing and moving for a couple of seconds. Stop. Drag-select that two seconds (make sure you only get the silence) and Effect > Amplify > OK . That will boost the background noise as much as it...

Also on the hub

There is no "also on the hub." Never send audio through a USB hub with other stuff. USB time shares and there's no way to set priorities.

Do a performance with nothing else connected to the hub and I bet the problems vanish.

You should probably identify the clicks. I hear the one at "Left" (0.649) in clip 3, but I'm having trouble with the first two.
