Changing the volume of a track

Post by sciuriware » Thu Dec 20, 2007 10:09 am

Hello, I'm new here,
some of my .wav files are not loud enough: they're from a CD or played by myself.
Other files are much louder, which is annoying when you play them back in sequence.
The Audacity screen shows peaks of only 0.2, while the scale goes from -1.0 to 1.0
How can I safely raise the volume, say by a factor 3, without nasty side-effects?
;JOOP!

Select the track and use "Effcts -> Amplify"
(make sure that the "Allow Clipping" box is NOT selected)
