How do you enhance the audio by making it louder

Post by Luke88 » Tue Jan 17, 2012 3:02 am

I'm having trouble editing my original Mp3 audio in Audacity by increasing the overall volume. Is there a way you can make it louder than the original mp3 file it was imported from?

Select the audio and use Effect > Amplify

See this page from the Audacity manual: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Amplify

Just be aware that you will get further MP3 compression damage when you re-export an MP3 file from Audacity. See this aricle in the Wiki: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/MP3#R ... ing_to_MP3
