Hey i have a 2 min AMR file voice recording, I cant figure out how to make it clearer or translate what was said. If the sound quality is so bad that you can't hear what is being said, then it is almost certainly beyond repair. Also, it's a bad idea to post your email address on public forums as &q...

Hey guys... almost done with the project, but the Engineer/OCD part of me wants to try to understand something, and I can't find the answer in a search... When Compression is applied, is it adding gain to the signal below the threshold? I'm pretty clear on what it does to stuff above the threshold, ...

Because you compress the waveform when you zoom out, you reach a point that you've compressed the waveform "so much" that you don't have a density of pixels high enough to display correctly the compressed waveform, and then you got to cut/remove pixels from the waveform, because you don't...

I am grateful as a system admin that I did find your post about Audacity and its apparent malfunctions on mac if not installed as per your instructions... However it is also necessary to point out that this configuration is a botch job at best and three toed one eyebrow neanderthink engineering on c...

I'm creating recordings using the RODE app on my iPhone and then copying the raw files to my MBP. Is there a way to have Audacity automatically recognize and import the files as raw data files so I don't need to choose "Import Raw Data" for each file? It would be much easier to be able to ...
