Bill, thanks for the response. Why do you recommend amplifying before doing the fades? I was under the impression that amplify should be the last step. I'm very interested in this too Bill - like Audioguy I've always done my Amplifying/"normalizing" as my last step prior to final export a...

Personaly I would (and do) export WAVs from Audacity and then use iTunes to do the AAC conversions. For a start iTunes does the conversion about twice as fast as Audacity - and then there's no mucking about with the FFmpeg stuff. See this workflow tutorial I wrote for the manual a while back: http:/...

Or you can smooth a disjunctuion like the one that Steve illustrates by selecting samples either side of the fault and using Effect > Repair

Repair will fix up to 128 samples based on interpolation from neighbouring samples.

I use the Draw tool to draw a wave.Then I repeat the wave so its long enough for something to start out with. It helps make an original starting point for a tone ... Can't the Audacity command Generate > Tone do that job for you? Or are you drawing a more complex waveform than a simple tone? I'm cu...
