Audacity Forum

For some reason (I don't know why), when you first use Audacity the default export directory is the directory where Audacity is installed (usually inside the "Programs" directory). "User files" (your files) should NOT be saved there. You should always save your documents, picture...

There is already some distortion during the loudest audience noise. Not much can be done about that - I'd just ignore it ;) If you want to use the Noise Reduction effect (a good idea in this case), it's best to use it before you start messing about with the levels. I've used quite aggressive setting...

This is why we need to know what the job is. No one is going to guess that you are trying to locate sounds within a specific frequency range that are buried in 10 - 12 hours of noise. ;) How about the track spectrogram view? Are the sounds that you are looking for visible in the spectrogram view? ht...

It is included in Audacity 2.1.1

It looks to me like they are trying to sell you cloud storage. I think your best bet could be to find a better voice recorder app that does not have this format restriction.

The simplest solution would be to duplicate the track (Ctrl+D), apply an A-weighting / C-weighting filter using the Equalization effect (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/equalization.html), then use the "Waveform (dB)" view.

"K" (Moves the cursor to the end of the selected track)

To avoid distortion / clipping, the recording level must be set low enough that the loudest parts of the audio do not touch the top or bottom of the Audacity track. You can also monitor this by looking at the recording meter and ensure that it is always below 0 dB. (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/...
