Try this: 1. Ensure that only the first project in the list is selected (untick the other two). 2. Click the "Recover Selected" button. 3a. If the project is recovered, save the project and then exit Audacity. 3b. If Audacity crashes, ignore that one for now. Repeat the process for each of...

my personal beleif is that dynamic range control and mastering are where it can go a bit wrong and well mastererd 16bit sounds amazing. I absolutely agree. A badly mastered recording will still sound bad no matter how high the "resolution". Reason for digitising my LPs at 24/96 is kind of...

Or is there some other way entirely I should be applying it? Normally you would apply thing...

I'm now trying some lower setting like 50 or 60. Is there a limit to that? Can I set my level to 1 or 2? Why or why not? Your sound card probably captures audio as 16-bit numbers. That means there are 65536 discrete amplitude levels, which allows the digital audio to match the (continuously varying...

Just a thought, are you saving to a network drive or cloud storage?
