If I put ten numbers of exactly 3 minutes from the hard disk in Audacity to make one project, Audacity says I have recorded 29 minutes and about 30 seconds; If you put 10 tracks of exactly 3 minutes each, end to end in Audacity, the total length will be 30 minutes. If you put 10 tracks end to end i...

The peak level of that audio sample is -5.7 db. The target level is -3 dB, so we need to increase the level (amplify by a positive amount). 1. Select the track 2. Open the Amplify effect and set the "New peak amplitude" to -3 dB. 3. Apply the effect. If we re-run the ACX check on the entir...

Maybe there are reasons I have not thought of why the developers wanted tracks mix to ignore Mute/Solo. If you take it outside this thread we'll find out whether or not. Maybe there are. That's why I raised the question both here and on the developer's mailing list. There has so far been no respons...

"Clipped" audio generally sounds "distorted" ("crunchy") like Flat tops / bottoms of the waveform may indicate "clipping" or may indicate that the peaks have been "limited" (see http://www.mediacollege.com/audio/processing/limiter/) The "problem...

Peak / RMS Getting both the peak level and the RMS level to meet the ACX requirement is one area that a lot of people have trouble with - not because it is particularly difficult to do, but because there are unfamiliar concepts to get your head round. Lets assume that you have edited your recording...

Check the monitor button.

The current size (using needed toolbars) is 740 x 445 I've not checked the exact size in pixels, but that sounds about right for the minimum size. I could avoid having to buy a costly system with a 4K (3840x2180) display. A cheaper option may be to get an inexpensive second monitor. If you're using...

The "F" keys F1 to F6 change the tool that is being used. See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tools_toolbar.html
