WC:

I have another question or two about Click Repair, but will add them to your thread devoted to that app rather than continue here.

Please take a look there shortly.

WC: I believe he states somewhere that the preferred workflow is: Derumble, declick, decrackle, debuzz, and then dehiss. Which in his world would mean Denoise LF, Click Repair, Click Repair, Denoise LF (I think, for Debuzz), Denoise. The only question is--how many passes of Click Repair--one or two?...

WC: Can you comment on Davies ClickRepair declick and decrackle workflow. I am currently doing this: Open track in ClickRepair. Set decrackle to zero. Set declick settings as desired Process and save as WAV. This yields a WAV file with CR extension that has been declicked but not decrackled. Open th...

I have been led to believe that in digital land (Audacity/WAV/mp3), level settings are not nearly as critical. Correct - not as critical, but while in the land of 16 bit a degree of care must still be taken. Once it's into a 32 bit (float) Audacity track, then the levels become extremely non critic...

Steve: Thanks for the comments. In an inexplicable brain fade, my previous posts would have you believe I was unaware of the red meters. Not true, although I did not know they could be dragged screen wide. Possible explanation for my brain fade: In analog land (cassette/open reel/turntables/1977), l...

Open Audacity.

Go to edit menu

scroll down to preferences and poke it.

choose libraries and you should see a window like below.

You see two "locate" buttons. Poke the top one (next to mp3 library) and tell us EXACTLY what is shown in the little window that pops open, if anything.

you can resize the meters by clicking and dragging, this makes them much more useful I have mine as a pair stretched across the whole width of my Audacity window WC: OK, I see what you mean by resize, but I don't follow the "across the whole width of my Audacity window". Attached are 2 pictures. On...

set the volume level so that you are getting a peak level in Audacity of around -6 dB. How does one reliably do that? I am accustomed to viewing the waveforms against the 0, .5, 1.0 scale immediately to the left of the waveform display, and then adjusting level up or down with the input level slide...

I have seen some barebones editors that can supposedly do a basic edit of an mp3 (cutting a segment, doing a fade) without recompression--allegedly, I say allegedly. MP3Split can do basic (cut and trim) editing on MP3 and Ogg files without decoding/re-encoding. http://mp3splt.sourceforge.net/mp3spl...
