Re: How to have a fading muffled effect?

Classic Filters being set to Butterworth, Lowpass, order 1 and cutoff as 750Hz, and applying it twice for better results. That should be about the same as increasing the "order" to 2" and using it once. Alternatively, you could use the "Low-Pass Filter" effect (set to 12 dB...

Re: How do I make 2 voices in ONE audacity track sound about the same volume?

This is probably really simple for you. No :D It's not simple for anyone. The best you can do is to "compress" the track so that it remains at about the same level throughout. That will make the quiet voice louder when it is on its own. It will not help when both voices are speaking at th...

Re: can not drag to a another track with timeshift

But, I have two different types of audio; one stero and second mono. I want to add a clip from mino in stereo. Can anything be done? Can we convert mono audio to stereo and then try? You can cut and paste from a mono track to a stereo track. You cannot cut and paste from a stereo track to a mono tr...

Re: How to get the same volume for each file

Is there an "MP3Gain" like software for other audio file types? especially for ".aac" and ".opus". "ReplayGain" supports a lot of file types. On Windows it is available in Foobar2000 (Available free here: https://www.foobar2000.org/) For Opus support, the lat...

Re: Mac: "Cmd + D" for "No" button in dialogs

I've updated the topic title and moved the topic to the "feature requests" part of the forum. I suggest following convention and binding Cmd-D to the "No" button. That's the key combination typically used across Mac applications (the "d" refers to "Don't Save"...

Re: Carbonite back-up and Audacity projects and files

Does the project's data file actually become modified or changed in any way when I make changes or additions to the project? It's not a "data file", it's a "data folder " (a directory). The ".aup" is a file. The audio data is in a folder. There is one AUP (Audacity pro...

Re: Carbonite back-up and Audacity projects and files

am I correct in my understanding that it will be OK for me to copy and paste the project's AUP file into my music folder AS LONG AS I copy and paste the project's data file along with it EACH TIME I back up the project? Yes, but ensure that Audacity is closed before you do that. What I generally do...

Re: right channel overlays left channel

VTop, the company that makes the audio grabber, sent me a test MP3 file to confirm that the left and right channels should be different. That was a good idea. How exactly did you test, and what happened? (Now that you've already given details of the PCs, please just refer to them as the "good&...

Re: Slow GUI response on Track Control Panel

Are you working with extremely long tracks (hours of audio) and / or a high res monitor? Redrawing the waveforms can be slow in such cases (and the Mute button causes the waveform to be redrawn). The track's control panel is created as a lightweight widget, so it seems unlikely that the issue is the...
