Re: Effects-Normalize??

Oh and Normalize has another useful little function called "Remove DC offset". You do not need this unless your sioundcard is applyind DC to the signal (is faulty in other words). You can see if you have DC offset on the signal if the waveform in Audacity is not centered on the zero line. ...

Re: Effects-Normalize??

It amplifies the track to a maximum amplification bnased on the loudest part of the track.
