The normalize to 0 dB might help but if you don't want that (for example you are applying Replay Gain) ... Personally I'd not trust normalizing to 0 dB, but "close to" 0 dB definitely helps to get the best out of VBR. The issue with Lame encoded files having a higher peak level than the o...

We can't see your computer but we can tell you that Audacity doesn't apply real-time effects to recordings. You can ensure you have the latest audio drivers for your computer model from the HP ...
