The mp3 I attempted to attach was only 25sec long at 128kbps, but I got a message that "mp3 format uploads are not allowed". ??? The only thing I can think is that there was something "odd" about the file - perhaps you omitted the file extension by mistake, or there was some con...

I figured out what I was doing wrong with Noise Removal and it was so stupid: Out of instinct I was typing "-15"(as in MINUS) in the noise reduction level field, instead of just 15. Thus I was inadvertantly raising the noise level instead of reducing it. Thanks for letting us know. Hmm, e...

Hi Ben, I'm not a developer either but I can give you some extra information in so far as the main stumbling block was on Windows - the slv2 library is written in C99 which is not supported in Visual Studio, so to get LV2 support on Windows we need to do a lot of work translating calls into C++.

I am getting distortion and slowing down of the existing tracks when trying to overdub guitar through my M-Audio Fast Track into Audacity 2.0 The existing tracks were imported WAV files and show a sampling rate of 44.1kHz according to the track bar. The project rate is also set at 44.1kHz. If I rai...

Use Effect > Normalize . This makes the peak level in each track the same. It does not necessarily make each track sound equally loud. If these are stereo tracks and the balance between the left and right channel of each track is already as you want it, be sure that the box "Normalize stereo ch...

Could something like this be what we need to displace the "Leveller" effect? I didn't find the "Squelch attenuation" control made much difference with the material I tried, only the "Squelch threshold". Would it be less fiddly to not have that attenuation control (just ...

The usual answer to launch problems on XP is to install or repair the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (see http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_installation_and_plug_ins.html#probs ), though launch errors normally say the "configuration is incorrect". Especially ...
