Are you using Noise Removal correctly? You should not isolate the noise or apply too much reduction. See Noise Removal - Audacity Manual . Are you using Normalize correctly? See Normalize . Which are you doing first? It is better to do Noise Removal first, as a rule. Is the audio a recording? if it'...

I didn't see the Zoom plug-in in Audacity. When I read the track into audacity, the bottom track is clearly the side mic track. I thought I had it! But then I found that the Zoom stereo separation tool does really strange things. For example, I may turn down the side mic volume but it makes it go u...

I have started using Audacity and have a question about bitrates. I loaded a track that I wanted to edit that was at 128 bps and when I saved it after editing and replacing the original it had changed it to 320 bps. Are you talking about MP3 and kbps? If you don't want to export MP3 at 320 kbps, cl...

The recording isn't too loud, but apart from anything else, the frequencies above 8000 Hz are being lopped off to almost nothing instead of tailing off. It sounds like some unwanted effect or processing is going on. Audacity doesn't do that when recording, so you will have to look at turning off all...

Have you tried adjusting "Audio to buffer" in Audacity's "Recording Preferences"? If it is on 100 milliseconds, try lower values.

I think we have some broken links in the manual. The download link to Soundflower changed after 2.0.6 was released. Soundflower is now hosted by Rogue Amoeba at https://www.rogueamoeba.com/freebies/soundflower/ . I updated the link in the online version of the Manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org...

FFMpeg doesn't support MP3. That's what Lame does. To be strictly correct, FFmpeg can import MP3 (if you choose "FFmpeg-compatible files" when you import). FFmpeg can export MP3 if the FFmpeg build includes libmp3lame, but you can't use FFmpeg for MP3 export by choosing "MP3 Files&qu...
