Audacity Forum

I did clean the disk. I thought about mentioning that after I posted. I tried everything I could think of. It's the only copy of the song in the library. Unfortunately we only have one branch where I live. They have a buffer but it's not very good. It can't remove scratches, it's really just a clean...

I rented a music CD at the public library today and one of the songs has a bad spot. I tried burning a new copy as sometimes that'll repair minor problems, but it didn't work this time. I tried the Repair and Noise Removal tools in Audacity without any luck. I was able to isolate the source and atta...

Thanks Steve, that explains a lot.

I've been experimenting with some heavily-clipped files at 95% and it seems to be working better than I had expected.

Many thanks. I've got a lot better understanding of it now.

I'm not sure what would cause the waveforms to disappear permanently. As far as reinstalling, after you uninstall, look for the Audacity profile folder and delete it to clear all previous settings. Depending on your operating system it'll be in Application Data or Program Data. Probably the easiest ...

I've started noticing that when I've got "Show Clipping" enabled, it shows a red line when the dB is at or near 0; but I'd like to see it only if it goes over 0. Would anyone know if there's a way to adjust this? Thanks.

Found a workaround. Ctrl+L does the same thing but no line. A lot to learn with this little program. lol

Very educational indeed. Much appreciated.

Every time I generate silence at the beginning or end of a track it makes this black line. If I click it, it goes away but does anyone know if there's a way to prevent it in the first place? I can't see any useful purpose for it and it's just annoying. I tried changing some of the preferences but no...
