If your original is from a compressed format, your only choices are The Same Quality and Worse. The only way to get The Same Quality is export the work as an uncompressed sound file such as Audacity default WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit. All the other options produce additional compression damage.

Thanks everyone for your help. Explaining how Audacity works was most helpful reply. I wasn't aware it created new files and left the original alone. I use Sony's Vegas Pro video editor.

By the subject heading I mean a way of vertically expanding the waveform - so that eventually it fills the track strip. I struggled to find this in Audacity, I did succeed but now it seems to have disappeared. I'm not wishing to change the actual volume level, just the graphic display. Copious sugge...

As policy, we don't help with recordings for legal purposes (including covert recordings) and for management of person to person disputes. Someone not on Audacity Team may or may not be willing to help you. However my advice is to get a lawyer and a proper Sound Pressure Level measuring instrument f...
