Audacity Forum

As I wrote before, I would be very surprised if reinstalling fixed anything. Have you tried resetting the Audacity preferences? Doing so returns Audacity to the user default settings, so it is far more useful than just reinstalling. If you are using the current Audacity 2.0.2 installer there is an ...

October 2012 Update on this issue: After having removed and reinstalled Audacity several times since this post, Noise removal still exhibiting the same behavior - with different projects, not just the same file. I may be the only person using Audacity that this has happened to, but we have an old ex...

You can check levels of Audacity mp3 export projects in mp3Gain. You can adjust the level then and there with mp3 gain or do the following: If your mp3Gain setting is 90db for sake of argument and the mp3 export is analyzed at 97.5 you know you need to amplify the track in Audacity minus 7.5 db and ...

I'm unable to reproduce your results. What do I need to do to reproduce this problem? Just use it normally. Import a scratchy/hissy recording with gaps you can hear the hisssss. Get noise profile, then use noise removal at a setting of 15dB. I uninstalled and re-installed audacity, problem has gone...

When applying noise reduction of 15dB or more it takes up to two minutes to remove noise from a 30 second recording! It turns that recording into 5secons of a high-pitched squeal that nearly blew my speakers. Applying 10 or 12db of Noise Removal seems to work OK. Just a heads up!

I just wish it could be moved about or delegated as it could be in 1.2X That's the audacity I was used to. It can be moved with the mouse. But obviously you want it as a separate window as it was in 1.2.6, which has pros and cons. Of course there were complaints about how it was in 1.2.6, which is ...

Just a small programmer heads up. Very useful tool the spectrum is, but cannot get it out of the way to re-equalize a project and then bring it up to replot.

Thanks!

I think I "figgered" out how to do it:

Import a stereo WAV or MP3 file. Pull down and select "split stereo".

Then select Mono and both tracks.

Done!

You can then export the mono version as a mp3 or wav.

I drag a MP3 file into Audacity for modification. I want to create a Mono version so I click on the drop-down next to the file name in the working area. Alas, mono is grayed out and not an option.

Please help!
