Re: volume

what is the difference bet 32 float and 32 PCM ? PCM may use integer or floating point data. Audacity supports tracks that are 16 bit integer. 24 bit integer and 32 bit float (floating point). 32 bit float is strongly recommended for audio processing. 32 bit integer PCM has 2^32 (4,294,967,296) pos...

How to post an audio sample

When seeking help with sound quality issues it is often helpful to post a short audio sample that illustrates the problem. In most cases just 3 or 4 seconds of audio in WAV format is sufficient.

Re: Cutting down multiple audio files at the same time

One way to do it:

Import all of the files.

Ctrl+Shift+K to "Select in all tracks".
Ctrl+T to trim
File menu > Export Multiple (based on tracks).

Re: Importing a CD with music between tracks

MP3s have inherent silence padding due to a restriction of the MP3 format. To avoid gaps between tracks you need to use a format that does not add padding to the start or end of the tracks (for example WAV, AIFF, Flac or Ogg). Some players are able to merge MP3 files on the fly so as to avoid playin...
