Danke that did the trick. I think I actually did click the clock but it didn't look like anything happened. I must've clicked it again afterwards to keep the effect on.

Problem pasting audio

I should probably preface this by saying that I've been using an older version of audacity for some years now (I believe it was the 1.3 Beta. I'm positive it had Beta in the name and a 3, so that seems the likely candidate given I've used it since 2012). I assumed it would tell me when Audacity upda...

Re: Default Program File Association Problem

Bam. Thankyou. I wasnt aware ccleaner could solve this issue or I would've done it earlier. Out of curiosity, what's the technical reason for why this works?

Re: Default Program File Association Problem

Well on a basic level I'm pretty skilled. No, the beta is no longer installed. Just trying to make audacity the default once more when you right click a file>properties>opens with- Regardless of what I do, audacity never appears on the list.

Default Program File Association Problem

I recently updated from the 1.3 beta to the 2.0 version of Audacity and so far everything seems fine except it broke Audacity being the default program for .wav files. And despite using the open with>browse, choose default program, etc. options audacity is not even listed as a choice for opening the...

Re: How To "Remaster" Older Audio?

if you have noise try to remove it first. it will get harder the more you mess with the file. then be sure not to add noise by clipping. doing too much compression eq etc can make it sound worse then just enough f/x. Right, I tried that but the best it can do is take some of the track out along wit...

Re: How To "Remaster" Older Audio?

first eq down not up. eg if you want to boost the bass then lower the other freqs downwards not the bass louder. but if you do increase some freqs then first amplify it all lower so the eq does nto push you into clipping. why not try eqing the bass first since you mentioned that. see if you can mak...

Re: How To "Remaster" Older Audio?

Hitting maximum, while technically is not a problem, almost always means distortion on volume peaks. It may not if: -- You Amplified or Normalized a show to the default value of zero. -- You are managing computer generated music which can be controlled to go straight up to the zero distortion point...

Re: How To "Remaster" Older Audio?

There is a very restructed ability to post attachments here in the forum, but it's limited in size and even less useful if you need to post large WAV samples. There are web file hosting services which will allow you to park larger files for distribution against the hope that you're going to run out...

Re: How To "Remaster" Older Audio?

What do you want to do ? remove noise, add bass, add reverb, tame the highs, compress, normalise, something else? You can certainly apply these things one at a time with audacity. Call that REmastering if you want to. I don't see why you need to chain anything for your project. Or even why you need...
