Your topic title says "Change track speed", but the "Change Speed" effect is exact, so I guess you don't mean that. As it says in the manual (http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/change_tempo.html#Limitations): Limitations Change Tempo is a time-stretching effect, because it defies...

You could use the Home key, or, click anywhere on the track then click the "rewind" << button. I've moved this topic to the "adding features" section as there has been a suggestion of reducing the width of the "magnifier" zone so as to make it easier to click at the sta...

but didn't understand how to -db worked You're not alone. This is a common problem for people that are unfamiliar with audio software. "dB" measurement represents the ratio between one signal level and another. When referring to the level of a signal, it is a ratio of the signal level com...

that's fascinating. So the frequency of the current makes a hum? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_hum That's it. A friend that works in a power station told me how they continuously monitor the frequency with extreme accuracy, because, with the enormous power that they generate, even a minute de...
