Volume Inconsistencies
I'm digitizing all my old personal and music cassettes and converting them to MP3. The volume is very inconsistent among these various tapes. I know I can change the output volume on the cassette player and the input volume in Audacity. My question is can I change the volume level of a section or an entire project? Can I increase or decrease the volume of the file instead of having to re-record an entire cassette at a different volume? Thanks for any help you can give.

Re: Volume Inconsistencies
You can use the Envelope tool to vary the volume level at different parts of the recording.
The Envelope tool is the icon with two white triangles pointing to a little white dot with a blue line passing through. With this tool selected you can set the little white dots at various points and move them (and the associated blue lines up and down - the blue lines control the volume at that point in the recording.

To change the volume of a whole recording use the Amplify effect after selecting the whole recording.
