I know I can turn up each individual track in various ways; but can I turn up everything by exactly the same amount? if you have multiple tracks selected and you use the "Amplify" effect, each track is amplified by the same amount. My goal is to get a louder final product: a louder MP3, i...

The path to the "_data" folder is relative, so as long as you check that all external dependencies are copied into the _data folder, then you can move the project (provided that you keep the AUP file and the _data folder together). My normal practice when starting a new project is to creat...

You can disable all VST effects in "Edit menu > Preferences > Effects". Try disabling VST completely - if that solves the problem but you want to be able to use the VST effects that are compatible, then it's a matter of temporarily moving all of the VST effects so that Audacity does not se...

You can pan mono tracks (use the pan slider on the left side of the track), but if you wish to apply a stereo effect (such as stereo reverb) you need to convert the track into a 2 channel (stereo) track. If the 1 channel (mono) track is panned off-centre, then to convert it to a stereo track all tha...

But as you point out Steve GWC is a Linux only piece of s/w - not so great for those of us runnining Windows PCs or MACs. And AFAIK (but please correct me if I am wrong) there is no longer any support for or maintenance of GWC GWC (as it stands) is a Linux application, but the algorithms that it us...

This is much easier in Audacity 1.3.12 - I'd highly recommend upgrading. But since you are using 1.2 "Edit menu > Preferences > File Formats" Set "Uncompressed Format" to "WAV (Microsoft 16 bit PCM)" Click OK To Export the wav file: "File menu > Export as WAV"

Moving track focus: Click on a track - there will be a faint yellow line around the track. Use the Up or down cursor key - the highlighting will move up or down to the next track. The track that has the yellow line is the track that has "focus". ----------- Make a selection: 1) Click on a ...

to select multiple tracks:
The ENTER key will toggle the selection on the current track (selected <> not selected)
The Up/Down cursor keys will move focus from one track to the next.

And when you say "wider," what exactly do you mean? On a stereo recording some of the sound is more in the left channel than the right, and other sounds are more in the right channel than the left. When this is listened to through loudspeakers it gives the impression of the instruments/vo...

Immediately before you Export,
Click on the "Project Rate" in the lower left corner of the main Audacity window and change it to 22050 (I presume that 220500 is a typo).
Audacity will use the Project Rate setting when it exports.
