Audacity Forum

Often people playing audio in a car like to reduce the difference between loud and soft. This is what Compressor does, which has the effect of making the result sound louder (when amplified back to the original level after the compression). If you don't want that, then just follow the first two para...

So are you on Windows XP? You can't usually mute the audio and still record stereo mix on Windows Vista and later. The new drivers could perhaps be working incorrectly. In Audacity Device Toolbar, try choosing Host="MME", Input= "Microsoft Sound Mapper (Input)" then go to the Win...

Before boosting the bass, use Effect > Amplify and set (say) -10 dB in "Amplification (dB)". After the boost, you can use Amplify again if needed then just hit OK to amplify to the maximum 0 dB. If your aim is to make the track sound louder, you can try Effect > Compressor as the first ste...

If I open a 16 bit file, which already includes dither, in 32 bit float, make a small alteration (such as adding silence to the end of the file, or applying some equalization to the bass respons...

Change the sample rate in Project Rate here http://manual.audacityteam.org/m/images/5/58/Selection_toolbar_narrow_basic7.png to 48000 Hz, then export. Changing project rate does not change the speed. View > Toolbars > Selection Toolbar if you don't see the above. Changing the rate in the Track Drop-...

I feel there is a bug here, as I've said several times. It happened to me a couple of days ago. I was saving a 30 second tone and label track as a project to a drive with 16 GB of space.
