Stereo imbalance

I recently recorded a live band on a Zoom h4n, because the unit had to be placed to one side of the stage there is a slight difference in the volume level between the two tracks. Is there a method of evening them up.

Simple instructions please, new user :wink:

Thanks

Jeff

Try using the Pan slider in the Track Control Panel - see this page in the Manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/audio_tracks.html#panel


Otherwise you can split the stereo track then use Amplify or Normalize on each channel independently and then re-join the stereo track - but this is a bit trickier to do.

OK thanks, I’ll give it a go.
