Here's an experiment for you to try, which will illustrate what is occurring. 1) Generate a 440 Hz Square wave, amplitude 0.5 2) With the track selected, open the Analyze effect and note "Amplification dB" setting. This is the amount of amplification required to bring the level up to 0 dB,...

5. In the Frequency Analysis window (Algorithm: Spectrum, Size: 8192, Function: Rectangular, Axis: Log & make it as large as possible to see detail), place the cursor at the exact peak of the plot. Note the Cursor: value indicates the peak is at 59 Hz, while the Peak: value says 58 Hz (A#1). (B...

Thanks for the update.

Was the problem track an imported file, or something you recorded?
If it was an imported file, are you able to reproduce the problem by importing the file into a new Audacity project?

If Audacity can covert the MIDI to payable audio - then surely it must be pretty straightforward to render it into an audio track ? It's "possible", but certainly not trivial. Currently Audacity has no built in MIDI synth and relies on external hardware or software to render MIDI data as ...

You need to export each song as a separate WAV file (not MP3. MP3's always have a bit of "padding" at the start). You also need a CD RW drive that can burn in "DAO" mode ("Disk At Once"). Then use your CD burning application to create the compilation with tracks in the ...

So is it the "average" level that you want to measure, or the RMS level, or something else?

Audacity is essentially an audio recording and editing program. Audacity also has the ability to import / export and play MIDI files, and has very basic MIDI editing. Audacity's MIDI capability will probably increase in the future, but the main priority for the foreseeable future is audio. Although ...

Is this specific to using Equalization in a Macro?
