Change volume in one clip

[jack magee]

Win 7 64 bit - Audacity 2.1.1

I made one mp3 from three mp3 by cutting out and pasting relevant sections. Clip one and two are OK. Clip three is a bit low. Can i increase volume slightly on clip three only. They are not music they are spoken narration

After the clips are combined, use the Envelope Tool to adjust one (or more) part of the recording.

Thanks. I had to start again and it worked OK. I could not raise the volume with the envelope tool

You have to zoom-out on the vertical (amplitude/volume) scale to do that : place the cursor somewhere on the vertical scale, (it will become a magnifying-glass icon) , then click on the right-hand mouse-button.
The vertical scale now extends from +2 to -2 , ( rather than +1 to -1 ), allowing you to raise (amplify) using the envelope tool , rather than just make sections quieter.

The other method is to raise the inner envelope points (second and third from the top).
