Audacity Forum

My problem occurs when trying to apply effects to the track Your problem occurred before that. When Audacity recovered the show after the crash, it's a terrifically good idea to save the Project and Export a WAV protection copy. That's when you may have discovered that the show is still damaged and...

Can you hear the music at the mixer headphone connection? Apple (upper left) > System Preferences > Sound > Input. Can you see the mixer there and c...

Note if you picked 60dB for the bouncing light sound meter range, Waveform (dB) will be 60dB, too. That's what the sound actually looks like . What it's not is handy or useful, since only t...

Note half-way up is -6dB which is proper. Right around -25dB, the waves are so small as to be useless. But you would ...

Unscramble an egg and take the chocolate out of a cake. There's no personality or key to use for the separation. You know how to recognize the violins because you're human. The computer just sees a lot of very similar sounds. The vocal reduction tools mostly work on the key of whether or not the sou...

remove all of the tracks first so that it is an empty project

Oooo. I didn't know that one [writing that down].

We are pleased you are able to make good use of Audacity.
