Auto-adjusting record level

Post by coachted » Tue Aug 15, 2017 6:42 pm

I was recording a 3-way Zoom call today and noticed that the recording volume slider was moving lower and lower on its own. I would put it back to about 60% and it would start moving lower again. The problem is that different speakers were being heard at different levels. How do I stop the slider from moving?

Check the Zoom call settings, and the Windows Sound Control Panel settings.
Audacity doesn't have any ability to change the recording level.

By itself.

Thanks for the clarification Koz. Yes that's what I meant.
