![]() …Don’t confuse dynamic compression (an effect) with file compression like MP3 (which makes smaller files). Low analog levels are often an indication of a problem and if there is. You can amplify digitally after recording with no quality loss. Pros often record at -12 to -18dB but you probably don’t need that much headroom. There are fewer settings to mess with (or to mess-up) than the Compressor effect and it’s usually better for “loudness”. As long as you’re getting good quality somewhat-low digital recording levels aren’t a problem, especially at 24-bits. Limiting is a fast-kind of dynamic compression. If you can’t get it loud enough (without clipping) try the Limiter effect (either with Make-up Gain, or you can re-amplify after limiting). You can re-import the mix and Amplify or Normalize before exporting to your desired final format.Īlso, if these are “original” recordings (from a microphone) they are uncompressed and even with “maximized” 0dB peaks they won’t sound as loud as commercial recordings which always have dynamic compression. Audacity will display the microphone level in the recording meter Then try to speak in a normal volume. Or, you can export as floating-point WAV, which won’t clip but you shouldn’t leave it that way. Or, you can Mix and Render, and then run the Amplify or Normalize effect to bring down the levels before exporting. all selected tracks are amplified by the same amount, they are not amplified to the same level as is the case with Normalize. ![]() If you only have two tracks, lowering the peaks to -6dB (50%) or less will keep the mix level safe. Use the Amplify effect to change the volume of the selected audio track (s) or selections: Amplify always preserves the relative volumes of the tracks and/or channels. (Audacity won’t clip internally but your exported file can clip, or you might hear clipping when you play it because your DAC can’t go over 0dB.) The slider with the speaker icon sets the playback volume relative to the system volume. Mixing is done by summation so you usually have to lower the level of one or both tracks to prevent clipping in the mix. The Recording Level slider will change the level of your recording device on a system level. Or, the Amplify effect can be used for amplification (with a positive value) or to attenuate (by entering a negative amplification value). It doesn’t affect what you see but it affects what you hear and it affects the exported mix. Select that audio section by clicking and dragging or by using the edit menu. There is a +/- volume slider to the left of each track/waveform. Open the single audio file in the Audacity audio software and find the section where you want to lower the volume. ![]() So IK a mplifed it a little but problem now is the chorus is to loud and the verses to quite That microphone doesn’t seem to have a recording-level control.
