Audacity Forum

if all of the equipment settings are exactly the same, and the recording setting is identical (including the exact positions of you and the mic), then the only explanation that I can think of is that you were talking a bit louder yesterday than today. It's common for peoples voices to change in loud...

Do you get the same problem with old files that worked previously with Audacity?

I'm a bit unclear why you have posted this in the podcasting forum as you have previously stated many times (and emphatically) that podcasts should ignore (be considerably louder than) the EBU recommendations.
