@Robert - I don't think you voted yet for a "master fader" or other solution. Do you want to vote for some method? Gale I'm not very fond of a general master gain slider. That's a remainder of the analog domain. However, I like the "Normalize Project" part of it. OK - you said: ...

there was recently (Audacity 2.0.4? somewhere around there) a significant improvement to the "Shaped" dither in Audacity. My recommendation for Audacity 2.0.5 (and later) is to use the default "Shaped" dither as this gives the best quality. The fix was in 2.0.5 release (the bug ...

I'm glad it seems to be fixed. Typically having "mismatched" sample rates between Audacity, Windows (if sample rates can be set) and an external device can cause audibly incorrect speed, synchronisation problems between tracks and/or crackly quality. Yes if the project gets set to some rat...

Which you did not say, so obviously we will suggest it. We have Macs where software playthrough works (and lets you hear the record without r...

The file name to be exported is already X in the case you cited. But you chose to import another file that had its own metadata.

All very odd! Anyone else hit this? As you gathered there probably isn't much to be done about this apart from the obvious idea of shutting down as many other programs as possible and stopping Mac doing Time Machine backups, contacting network servers and whatever else it does from time to time. Ha...

What are the make and model numbers of the USB mics, or are the mics connected to a USB mixer (make and model number)?
