I am currently using Version 3.73 of Audacity, in Windows 11. Previously, when I rendered tracks to a single new track, (in prior version of Audacity), if the level of the resulting track went above zero, the new track would accept this level and allow you to bring it down, manually. Now, it apparently limits or clips the new track. Would like to have the option back to maintain the full combined new track and adjust it as I wish. Thanks!
Ensure that: “Audio Setup button > Audio Settings > Default Sample Format”
is set to “32-bit float”.
Unfortunately, it didn’t make any difference. It used to allow a rendering to a new track to go over the maximum and then allow you to reduce it back via “Volume and Compression” effect Amplify, to a useable level without clipping.
This is useful when you are combining tracks, or using an effect that makes the new rendered track go above the level of clipping on the new track.
It still does for me.
Two possible reasons that I can think of why it might not for some projects are:
- The target track is an integer format (such as signed 16-bit)
- The project includes real-time effects that are clipping the mix.
