I posted for help. We should remember this is a forum, users helping each other, not a help desk. Audacity has no formal paid help.

sorry for inconvenience, duh?

Well, I don't know about "clipping" either Clipping is a Windows built-in program that lets you take a snapshot of your screen or draw a box around a portion of the screen and save that. Does that help clear the mystery? It's a different mystery now. Those are Windows Media Audio files an...

Removing volume compression from a recording is not common. Unless you find a qualified niche programmer or developer with time on their hands—or you can program—it doesn't look good.
