it sounded like I'd tried to record a song from the tv using an old cassette recorder from the back of a very long room! My guess is that you are recording from the laptop's mic rather than directly from your turntable. To test if that's the case, try making another recording and shout at the lapto...

The " Noise Reduction " effect looks for frequencies that are in the "noise profile", and reduces those frequencies when they are below a specified level. The " Noise Gate " does not use a "profile". It acts on all frequencies whenever the audio level goes bel...

However, the sound quality on playing back the MP3 was truly dreadful!!

How was the sound quality in Audacity (before exporting as MP3)?
If you export as WAV, what is the sound quality like?

Audacity Tracks without metronome track --> USB-Audio Out ... AND Audacity metronome track --> Audio-Out (not USB-Audio!) ... Audacity can't do that. Audacity can only record from one device at a time, and play back through one device at a time. Playback is currently limited to a maximum of 2 audio...

I thought I was smart saving it again with a different name (indicating a different stage). Named it "Project B.aup". To save with a new name: 1. Open the project in Audacity 2. "File menu > Save Project > Save Project As... " That should create a new "Project B.aup" a...

wondering if there is a way to script adding hundreds of small audio files programmatically to an audacity timeline / wave track at a specific start points and do the same for labels.

Yes, you could do that with Python. See: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/scripting.html

Always error: "VALUE NOT IN RANGE..."

When you get that error, look to see which control in the effect GUI has focus, and set that control to a valid setting. Repeat for each invalid setting until the effect runs.

when I try to Macro with Amplify - it seems as if it doesn't adjust *per track* it only goes with the very first recalled setting and applies it to all. That is correct. It amplifies by the set amount (adds that amount of dB to each track). This is because macros apply effects without their graphic...
