Audacity Forum

If you want a freebie with an overview ... https://www.ocenaudio.com/ Wow, thanks - that's actually a very cool program. I've only tried it out for a few minutes but it already seems to have a lot of the features I was missing from Sound Forge, e.g. being able to click straight into either the left...

Yeah, I probably use Audacity for much more simple tasks than your average user so I'm sure it's just down to me! Mostly it's things like fade in/outs and tidying up beginnings/ends of tracks after exporting from my DAW. Plus converting file formats, normalising levels and other minor editing tweaks...

Hi, I needed to batch fade/in out around 1,000 wavs to remove some very subtle clicks in a sample library I purchased. I managed to do it using Audacity and the fade-io.ny plugin but during the batch process all wavs are exported as 16 bit rather than their original 24 bit format. Is this a limitati...
