What version of Windows are you using?

You are probably making a data CD instead of an Audio CD. Check that your CD burning software is set to make an Audio CD.

Do you see anything in the before waveform that would lead you to believe it might still be louder than the others after compression The levels in that song are fairly constant throughout (very little dynamic range), so all that has happened by running it through the compressor is that the volume l...

Unfortunately not - it's been set in concrete. Neither Audacity nor any other audio editor can change that. What you can do is to change the volume dynamics and tone by applying various effects, but "velocity" is a property of the MIDI data that changes the sound that is created by the syn...

I am assuming that all this preceding mono/stereo quality discussion does not affect me if I do as you say and copy and paste the mono left channel to the right channel (using either Koz's or Ignatz's method) and then save the aup. project and eventually to .flac . Is that correct guys? That's corr...

See the xlnaudio website for a list of officially supported host programs.

But I have now, and am not entirely clear on them--or at least I don't understand all the options such as floor, hardness, etc. Believe it or not you're using the simplified interface :shock: Previous versions of Chris's Compressor had much more cryptic controls - the old interface can still be ena...

I assumed going from 1.0 to 1.25 would just be more of the same. It is. As you increase the compression level, the quiet bits get louder until at a setting of 1.0 the loud parts and the quiet parts (as long as they are above the "noise threshold") should be at about the same volume. As yo...

A bit ago they gave up Consumer Entertainment ideas and went entirely with business and commerce solutions and software. :?

I made a CD of 27 random tracks using the Audacity version and the maximum 1.25 compression setting, just to see the effect. On about half of the tracks, I noticed volume swells--sometimes in the middle of a song, but most often in the final couple of seconds, as the last struck note or vocal decay...
