Audacity Forum

I have Windows 7 SP 1 - to be upgraded to Windows 10 next Wednesday. I was using Audacity to digitize LPs over the last few weeks. On sunday everything was still working fine. Monday evening, I decided to check out a similar program, but was not satisfied with it, and uninstalled it. What similar a...

Also, turn off Transport > Software Playthrough in the Audacity menu bar so that it has no tick (no checkmark).

Play after selection start (Shift+f6) It's also useful for scroll playback. Play before selection en...

Both Amplify and Normalize seem to work on a selection for me... :? Or do you mean they take their parameters from the entire track? By "whole show" Koz means the whole selection. You could be zoomed in on part of the selection and not see the peak that prevented Amplify or Normalize havi...

When I use a PA I just plug in a jack into the headphone input with a dual connector on the other end for left and right channels, but even if I don't use a PA, if I just play the tracks with audacity from my laptop using my laptop speakers alone, the tracks will freeze briefly and then begin to pl...

Have you tried using wav in stead of mp3? It avoids decompression on every track independently. Audacity has already performed the decompression when it completed importing the MP3 as PCM.
