There is no way to control how loudly a file will play. Even a "quiet" audio file will sound loud if I play it via a big amplifier with the volume turned up high. Similarly a "loud" track will sound quiet if I turn down the playback volume. To play a sound at a specified loudness...

Unfortunately this is a bug that appeared in version 2.2.0 and was not noticed until after release. A new release is planned for the beginning of December, which is primarily a bug-fix release, and includes a fix for this bug. If you need to use chains between now and the release of 2.2.1, you could...

Thank you. I now understand. This bug is already logged on the Audacity bug tracker. I have added a note to say that the problem is still present in the release version of Audacity 2.2.0.

If you are using an Audacity version earlier than 2.2.0, the command is: "Tracks menu > Stereo Track to Mono".

It is normal for the channels of a stereo track to be different. If the two channels are identical, then it will play as mono. It is the differences between the two channels that makes stereo play as stereo. If you want the sound from both left and right speakers to be the same ("mono") th...

Click on the track (anywhere) so that the track is selected before selecting "Tracks > Remove Tracks".

(In my opinion, it is a minor bug that the recorded track is not already selected)

By "extremely bad", do you mean that it sounds "distorted" (like when you turn the volume up too loud)?
If you import the track into a new, empty, Audacity project (with no other tracks), does it sound OK?
