The link for the "78 rpm recording" tutorial and the "making ringtones" tutorial give a "page not found" error I presume that you mean "Recording 78 rpm records" and "Making Ringtones and IVR nessages". Both links work fine for me. Perhaps you need ...

Thank you. I had not realized what those Export options could do. Solved my problem. It's a very powerful and useful feature. When you want best audio quality, use a high bit rate, preferably one of the "presets". When you want a small file size (and are less concerned about sound quality...

Have you tried recording the game at normal speed? Did it work? If you were successful with that then the next bit i...

I was not aware Paul opposes a button in Edit Toolbar. He was opposed to it when I suggested it. He opposes a button in Tools Toolbar which would mean Spectral Selection was unavailable in Multi-Tool. How does that follow? If we use some tool other than the normal (temporal) selection tool, why doe...

Audacity is an audio editor. How are you putting the processed audio back into the video file? Can't your video software increase the audio level?

What exactly is your question? What are you trying to do? Yes, exporting audio in a lossy compressed format is slower than exporting as uncompressed PCM (such as WAV or AIFF). using a chain to amplify to a specific level doesn't work The "Amplify" effect applies a specified amount of gain ...
