Commencing in early 1950 Universal did the following: To improve separation we lowered the reverberation time of the studios, added substantial amount of absorption at lower frequencies, using diaphragmatic panels in convex splays. We increased the thickness of the blankets behind the perforated pa...

The Leveller effect is now available in the new "Distortion" effect http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/distortion.html I used this option a LOT That's possibly worrying. Were you aware that it causes distortion? If you specifically want that type of 'soft' distortion, then use the Distorti...

Would it be possible to specify different curves to be applied every X seconds using the Nyquist prompt? A simple example: ;version 4 (defun filter (sig ctrl) ; Filter code goes here. ; As an example, a simple low pass filter that ; takes a sound "ctrl" as a control signal, and applies ; ...

That looks like a combination of low-pass and comb filtering. How were the curves generated?

Big "pop" type sounds may be reduced with the optional "Pop Mute" plug-in: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Effect_Plug-ins#Pop_Mute Bad parts that are too long for conventional 'correction' may be "patched" by pasting a good bit of similar audio from elsewhere...

When making an audio CD, it's best to export as WAV rather than MP3. For an audio CD that will play in most CD players, you need to select "audio CD" as the type of CD (not a "data CD"). This tutorial should be helpful: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/burning_music_files_to_a_...

why is that functionality there if it affects the recording? Many uses, including: * Dictation - avoid long silences while thinking. * Wildlife recording - recording animal / bird sounds without huge lengths of nothing. * Band rehearsals - record the songs but not the (relative) silence between son...
