How do I use Audacity to filter out all frequencies above a specific pitch? Use the "Low Pass Filter" (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/low_pass_filter.html) However, that will probably make the recording sound dull. Piezo pickups often over-emphasize frequencies around 2000 Hz (2...

Anything you can suggest to help me recover ... even any part as this one was a lot of work I assume you don't have a backup copy of the project? Tip for future reference: When working on important projects, I generally use "Save Project As" about once every hour or two so that I have a t...

The problem may be due to the sound card settings in Windows.

To open the Windows Sound control panel:

1. open the run dialog with Windows logo + R
2. enter: mmsys.cpl
3. press the OK button

Check that your sound card is set to use 44100 Hz sample rate in both the Recording tab and the Playback tab.

One thing of note is the FocusRite Saffire was firewire and this m-audio air is usb. Firewire was designed to consistently give low latency and fast throughput independently of CPU load. USB is dependent on CPU availability. When the CPU is under high load, USB performance can suffer. This is somet...

Wondering: how are they categorized? What makes one an Effect and another a Tool? Audacity has 4 types of plug-ins: "Generators" create / generate sound. "Analyzers" analyze sound. "Effects" process sound. "Tools" are everything else. In a few rare cases a pl...

The Notch Filter will remove most of it, but you need to run it three times. This is the "track Spectrogram" view (see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/spectrogram_view.html) The panel on the left shows the settings. I also amplified the track (default settings) to make the waveform bi...

It is about being able to mute clips, then as desired, very likely in a different order, un-mute to original volume. There's no really good way to do that right now, but please raise this question again when the next version of Audacity comes out. There is a good way to do it in the next version :)...

Sorry we are circling around the meaning of 0 dB Let's clear that up to start. The dB scale (for signals) uses "full scale" as the reference level. Thus a waveform that is full track height is said to have a "peak amplitude of 0 dB". Most normal signal levels are less than "...

Assuming that you are using the current Audacity version 2.4.2:

"File menu > Export > Export as WAV"

That gives you "WAV (Microsoft)".

For "Mono", ensure that your project is mono before you export. If it contains one or more stereo tracks, use "Tracks menu > Mix > Mix Stereo Down to Mono" to convert the track(s) to mono. For "8 kHz" (sample rate), set the "Project Rate" (lower left corner of...
