Using Windows 7 and Audacity 2.1.1
I have songs recorded at different amplitudes (volumes) on the same project. How do I change the amplitude of one relative to another?
The “Amplify” effect will change the amplitude of the selected audio. Amplify by a positive number to increase the amplitude, or by a negative number to reduce the amplitude: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/amplify.html
The image is wrong.

On the current version
Amplification -1.96
New peak amplifitude 0.0
Unless I’m misisng something.
See the text in the yellow box near the top of that page.
Nothing is wrong, that’s just an example. A new “amplification factor” is suggested for every different selection or active track. In essence, Audacity will suggest a Gain factor (or Amplification) to normalize what is sees to 0 dB, or the highest peak to 255 (out of 0-255 bit) for instance.
Suggest assigning a HotKey for that function. I use Alt+A. This function is an ESSENTIAL feature of Audacity! and is your friend.
