I heard from tutorials that input volume should be 85-90% from max level That's cutting things a bit fine (very little "overhead"). It is essential that the recording level never exceeds 0 dB (100% full track height) as this causes irreparable damage. Unlike analogue recording, digital au...

Is there some way you can tell your users that they can use Audacity to extract audio tracks from movie files? On the website "About > Features > Export and Import" it says: Import and export AC3, M4A/M4R (AAC) and WMA with the optional FFmpeg library (this also supports import of audio f...

I exported sound from iMovie as mp3 and imported to Audacity. Bad idea. MP3 is a "lossy" compressed format, which means that the encoding to MP3 format discards some data (to make the file size smaller), which reduces the sound quality. Also, MP3 always has a little "padding" at...

Is it possible to correct, that immediately after import the figures of project rate in the left bottom corner would set automatically to 48000 Hz, independently of original imported file rate? Importing a file into an empty Audacity project will override Audacity's default project rate. This preve...

What options are there for the `location´ of the resulting Mixed track? I'd like it to replace the two tracks and remain in place [of them] and not necessarily go to the bottom. I'd like that too, but currently mixed tracks always go to the bottom. If you do this kind of thing regularly, it could b...

Associating files of a particular type with an application is an operating system (Windows) option. When Audacity is first installed, you are asked if you want to associate Audacity project files (.AUP files) with Audacity. Audacity "Project" files are the only file type that Audacity actu...

I just discovered that Audacity can process MP4 files directly into MP3! Not exactly. Audacity does not process files directly. Audacity copies the audio data from files into the Audacity project. Editing and processing is applied to the audio data in the project, and then the audio data may be exp...
