When rendering to an mp3, the peaks should be below -3 dB. If not, mp3 will sound awful. Even without clipping... I've never heard of a case where reducing the level before encoding prevented or reduced compression artifacts. I've put quite some time in researching why some of my mp3's in iTunes so...

That is correct.

When rendering to an mp3, the peaks should be below -3 dB. If not, mp3 will sound awful. Even without clipping... If you really need to compress dynamics, use a multi band compressor if your end result will be an mp3. It could also be wise for other lossy compression, but I've never experimented a l...

There is a hardware solution for low level mics like some older dynamics and ribbon mics. It's called the "cloudlifter". It needs phantom power and gives you another 20 dB gain. It's not cheap, though. There are two others that are a little friendlier to the purse. One is the FetHead and I...

It's not as strong as that, no :D It's just the way I put it to professionals recording 16+ channels. If you only play stereo, you probably won't notice it, unless you're also doing bittorrent fi. If you record 2 channels and expect low latency output at the same time, it might provoke hair loss. It...

But did you not have a second Effect > High Pass Filter that did initialise and work (in a cascading menu to right of "High Pass Filter")? Yes. But none worked before I deleted the cfg file. I have since deleted the 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 that were present in /Applications. I think one of those ...

Well, Gale was faster :D I'll still post this, as it might contain something... 1. Previous versions would allow me drag and drop a sound file to Audacity, I tried in the 2.1.2 version and did not work. I'm on Mavericks. But 2.1.2 doesn't allow me to drag and drop any audio file either. Could be rel...

2. EL Cap was running some sort of encryption via "VAULT"? It may have been causing some issues according to a Mac guy I know. So we adjusted that. FileVault is not compatible with most audio recording applications. Neither is Fusion disk. I'm willing to bet this will fix all your problem...
