Re: Bass Boosting help.

Sorry to say, but that isn't exactly what I was trying to get. I'm asking about raising the volume without affecting any part of the bass at all... If you boost the bass, then raise the volume of everything but the bass, you'll be back at square-one : it will then be the same as before you boosted ...

1. I am transferring talks recorded on cassette to digital from a cassette player using line in, exporting audio and saving as mp3, then closing the Audacity file and not saving it. If I reopen the mp3 with Audacity later to add effects like limiter or noise reduction, will I have lost the Audacity...

Re: How to draw a waveform faster in audacity 2.1.3?

Can I import this attachment file into the nyquist prompt? or not? Does it generate a new waveform? That data is just an average of the frequencies present in the selected region of the audio.

Re: Manipulating Audio Files

... I've followed the steps you suggested, but when I tried actually using the envelope follower nothing happened. I highlighted both tracks, went to the effects menu, clicked the envelope follower, and confirmed it... Select two tracks, (one to be followed is the upper one). Then choose envelope-f...
