Which version of Audacity are you using?

Use a "dynamic compression" effect. Audacity 1.3.10 includes the SC4 compressor which is pretty good.

Are you sure that the difference is not just the difference between your headphones and your speakers?

Oops yes.

I think the main issue to address here is Audacity crashing when you click stop. I would recommend updating Audacity to version 1.3.10 Unless the lost recording is something unique that you can't live without, I would be strongly tempted to forget about it and make a new recording (manual recovery c...
