what is the best way to rerecord parts? Click on the track the required number of seconds before you want to start recording, then click the record button (shortcut "R"). Audacity will then start recording on a new track from the time that you clicked. I tried recording on new tracks then...

The BBC's recommendations for podcast bit rates are:
MP3 Mono Speech: 64 kbps , 44.1 kHz, constant bit rate.
MP3 Stereo Music: 128 kbps , 44.1 kHz, constant bit rate.

Yet the sound is still fairly quiet compared to what you would normally expect, for whatever reason. Is there any solution for this Mix the tra...

I have an audio clip that, even when normalized to -1 dB, is still soft. How can I basically squish the waveform down to allow more room to add gain to bring the levels up to an acceptable point? I swear I've done this before, I just cant remember how! The first answer is the right answer, but ther...
