Re: real time equalization?

For basic Bass / Treble boost or cut, you can use the Bass and Treble effect, which has "real-time preview". See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/bass_and_treble.html There are various VST equalizers available as free downloads from the net. Audacity supports real-time preview for VST e...

Re: measuring levels

The easiest way to find the peak dB level is to select the audio that you want to test, then open the Amplify effect. By default, the Amplify effect shows how much amplification is required to bring the peak level up to 0 dB. In this example: http://manual.audacityteam.org/m/images/a/a5/amplify_w10....

Re: Unable to use Blue Yeti Pro Microphone for rec and audio

Ensure that "Software Playthrough" is OFF (not selected) in the Transport menu. Select MME as the "host" in the device toolbar and select the Yeti as the recording and playback device. "Blue" recommend a sample rate of 48000 Hz (48 kHz), so: 1) Open the Windows Sound Co...

Everybody has a richt to have there own opinion on subject that go beyond what science can explain. Sure they do.

Re: Strange oozing sound after using noise reduction

I only downloaded Audacity on 8 july 2017, so I suspect it is the very latest version. That depends where you downloaded from. The Audacity website always has the current version: http://www.audacityteam.org/download/ Other websites may have old versions, or even hijacked versions containing viruse...

Re: Limit Tool - Limiter

I don't know what you mean by "Remastering -3db -2B o -1db abd" (I presume some typos in there), but for lowest audible distortion, use the "Soft Limit" option.

Re: Audacity wont open AUP file

I suspect that the AUP file may be corrupt. If you could attach the AUP file to your reply we can take a look and check. See here for how to attach a file to your forum post: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=64936

Re: MP3 Variable Bit Rate

Ah, that's what you meant by 'what application'. Windows Explorer. Check the file size. Unless one has massively more metadata (such as a big "Album art" picture) embedded, then smaller file size for the same duration = lower average bit-rate. Windows Explorer may be calculating the avera...

Re: Automating Audacity for audio log creation

You could jig something up with a third party scripting application such as Autohotkey (https://autohotkey.com/), though it would probably be easier to script for a command-line recording application such as SoX (http://sox.sourceforge.net/Main/HomePage)
