Update Audacity

Audacity checks for updates to see if a new update of Audacity is available, it pops up a dialog informing you if and when an updated version of Audacity is available.

This is done on launch and then after every 12 hours while Audacity is open.

This is not an automatic update, update does not happen without you choosing to do so.

Mouse selection tipsSnapping

The Snapping Toolbar sets snapping of the cursor or selection to the nearest whole second (or other whole time formats) which can be useful for exporting a selection that needs to be a whole number of seconds (or other time unit), without entering values in the Selection Toolbar boxes (which would be another way of ensuring accuracy). Snapping is "off" by default.

One handy way to keep track of what you have selected and to make very precise modifications is to use the Selection Toolbar. For our purposes here, let's concentrate on its main purpose, the Selection boxes. By changing the dropdown menu selection from "Start and End of Selection" to "Start and Length of Selection", you can display and control the length of the selection instead of the endpoint. Which one is useful for you depends on the circumstances: if you need a clip from a song that is exactly 30 seconds long, you may want to set the length to 30, and then modify the start until you have just what you want. Other times you may know the exact end time but need to figure out where to start, independent of the resulting length.

Selection Toolbar also displays and can move the cursor position without there being a region selected. To move the cursor to an exact position using Selection Toolbar, set the "Selection Start" and "End" boxes to the same value.

You can set the values displayed in the Selection Toolbar boxes using the mouse and/or keyboard. To change a particular digit in a box, click on it, or you can navigate to it using only the keyboard: @@ -373,7 +373,6 @@

Focus versus selection

You will have read the term focus several times on this page and you may be wondering what is the difference between "focus" and "Selection".

You may have noticed in the images on this page that some of the tracks have a colored border around them (the actual color depends on the Theme you choose). This border indicates that this track has focus.

The track that has focus is the track that accepts any command whose name includes "focused track". These commands include commands such as "Close focused track" (Shift + C), "Mute/Unmute focused track" (Shift + U) and "Toggle focused track" (RETURN or Enter, which toggles whether the focused track is selected or not). @@ -467,7 +466,7 @@

    Factory Presets

    +

    There are several Factory Presets for the Compressor shipped with Audacity, you can access these using the Presets & settings button. +

    This list explains some of those presets: +

    +
    • Beefy Master - for use on the master track if you need to smooth out the attack but add density.
      • +
    • Climax Impulse - for very sharp sounds. The tail is losing, and the attack opposite begins to sound bright.
      • +
    • Deep Dive Master - will work perfectly on a master track, where it will imperceptibly add density without much change of dynamics.
      • +
    • Great Impact - for shots, hits, any sounds, where you want to especially highlight the signal attack while keeping a good tail.
      • +
    • Great Tail - for magic, explosion tails, reverberation tails, etc.
      • +
    • Presets for working with voice - for working with dialogs and podcasts, as well as where the voice needs to be made larger and brighter. +
      • Fat
        • +
      • Power
        • +
      • Make it Right
      • +
    • Voice Memos Balance is a preset for working with the sound recorded on the iPhone using Voice Memos. It will raise the volume of quiet sounds a little and create a neutral balance in dynamics.

    Realtime use

    The Compressor can be run non-destructively in realtime on any individual track using the track's effects stack or the master effect stack. Please see Using realtime effects on the Muse Support site for details. @@ -208,7 +225,7 @@

    Connec An RCA to 1/4 inch adapter


    -

    If the keyboard has neither of these options, but does have a 1/4 inch or 3.5mm stereo headphone jack, the easiest way to connect it is with a cable with a stereo mini-plug on one end (for the computer), and a stereo jack plug of appropriate size at the other end for the keyboard headphone socket. Plug the headphone output of the keyboard to the line input port of the computer. You will lose the ability to listen directly to the keyboard using headphones, and any internal speakers will probably be muted. You can get around this using a headphone splitter cable, or by enabling Enable audible input monitoring (Software Playthrough) in Audacity, (Software Playthrough will introduce a delay between the time you play a note and the time you hear it). This topic is covered in more detail in a following section. +

    Legacy Compressor

    + +
    +
    From Audacity Development Manual
    +
    +
    Jump to: navigation, search
    + + +
    The Legacy Compressor effect reduces the dynamic range of audio. +
    This is the old Compressor that was used in Audacity 3.5 and earlier.
    +

    One of the main purposes of reducing dynamic range is to permit the audio to be amplified further (without clipping) than would be otherwise possible. Therefore by default the Compressor amplifies audio as much as possible after compression. The resultant increase in average or RMS level can be useful for audio played in a noisy environment such as in a car, or in speech, to make a distant voice sound as loud as a close one. Because the gain changes relatively slowly, a compressor does not distort the signal in the way that a Limiter or clipping would do. +

    +
    + + + + +
    Advice +Note carefully that when you apply an effect to a time-stretched clip the changed speed of the clip will be automatically rendered. +
    • If you apply an effect to a selection within a time-stretched clip then Audacity will split the original clip so that the selection can be rendered as part of applying the effect.

    +
    +

    Graph

    +

    The graph shows the input level along the bottom (horizontal axis) and the output level scale on the left (vertical axis) to illustrate the dynamic range compression effect. The graph will change as you adjust the Threshold and Ratio sliders, reflecting those settings. The graph does not reflect changes in any of the other controls, although they all affect how the audio sounds after applying the effect. +

    +
    +

    Controls

    +
    The principle of how each control works is described below. In practice the effect works internally in a rather more complex manner in that, as it processes the sound, it looks ahead to determine if there are high peaks coming up. This enables the "attack" stage of the effect to work in advance of increasing level as can be seen in the example below. This feature is called look-ahead and it is enabled within the effect with no user adjustment. The benefit of look-ahead is that sudden peaks do not pass through the effect before the gain has had time to change.
    +
    • Threshold: The level above which compression is applied to the audio.
    +
    • Noise Floor: The compressor adjusts the gain on audio below this background level so as to prevent it being unduly amplified in processing. This is mainly useful when compressing speech, to prevent the gain increasing during pauses and so over-amplifying the background noise.
    +
    • Ratio: The amount of compression applied to the audio once it passes the threshold level. The higher the Ratio the more the loud parts of the audio will be compressed. The Ratio sets the slope of the blue line on the graph above the threshold.
    +
    • Attack Time: How soon the compressor starts to compress the dynamics after the threshold is exceeded. If volume changes are slow, you can push this to a high value. Short attack times will result in a fast response to sudden, loud sounds, but will make the changes in volume much more obvious to listeners.
    +
    • Release Time: How soon the compressor starts to release the volume level back to normal after the level drops below the threshold. A long time value will tend to lose quiet sounds that come after loud ones, but will avoid the volume being raised too much during short quiet sections like pauses in speech.
    +
    • Make-up gain for 0 dB after compressing: Amplifies the resultant audio in all selected tracks after compression to a peak level of 0 dB. All tracks are amplified by the same amount as in the Amplify effect.
    +
    • Compress based on Peaks: Base the threshold and gain adjustment on peak values of the waveform rather than the average (RMS) value used when in default (unchecked) state.
    +
    • When using RMS, the compressor uses "downward" compression, making louder sounds above the threshold quieter while leaving quieter ones below it untouched.
      • +
    • When using peak values, "upwards" compression is applied which makes the audio louder, but amplifies the louder sounds above the threshold progressively less than those below it. Where the original (input) level is 0 dB there is no amplification.

    Example

    +
    Before Compression: +

    A simple sine wave that begins at -12 dB, jumps up to 0 dB, then drops back down to -12 dB, to demonstrate how the Audacity compressors handle signals. +

    When Compress based on Peaks is not selected, audio with an RMS level beyond the threshold range will be reduced. If Make up gain is enabled then the entire selection will be boosted to make up for this gain reduction. +

    When Compress based on Peaks is selected, audio with a peak level within the threshold range will be boosted. +

    +

    After Compression: +

    In this example: +

    +
    • Compressing based on peaks is enabled so audio with a peak level below the threshold is boosted. You can see that the audio before 1.5 seconds on the Timeline has been made louder than it was in the "Before Compression" image.
      • +
    • Attack is 0.5 seconds, during which period the compressor progressively anticipates the coming peak.
      • +
    • Release is 1.0 seconds, during which period the boost to the quieter audio is progressively resumed.
      • +
    • Ratio is 10:1.

    Legacy Limiter

    + +
    +
    From Audacity Development Manual
    +
    +
    Jump to: navigation, search
    + + +
    +
    This is the old Limiter that was used in Audacity 3.5 and earlier.
    +

    Use the Legacy Limiter effect to pass signals below a specified input level unaffected or gently reduced, while preventing the peaks of stronger signals from exceeding this threshold. Mastering engineers often use limiting combined with make-up gain to increase the perceived loudness of an audio recording during the audio mastering process. +

    +

    This limiter effect provides two basic types of effect; "limiting" and "clipping". The "limiting" effect is a special kind of dynamic compression that responds very rapidly to peaks in the waveform. The "clipping" effect is a kind of distortion that changes the shape of the waves by "clipping" off the high and low peaks.

    +
    + + + + +
    Advice +Note carefully that when you apply an effect to a time-stretched clip the changed speed of the clip will be automatically rendered. +
    • If you apply an effect to a selection within a time-stretched clip then Audacity will split the original clip so that the selection can be rendered as part of applying the effect.
    +
    +
    + + + + +
    Alert +If you apply this effect with an envelope present then there is a bug whereby the envelope is removed and the audio reverts to its full amplitude state prior to the effect being applied. +

    Type

    +

    Soft Limit (default) progressively reduces the gain as the amplitude of the waveform approaches the "Limit to (dB)" threshold and prevents the waveform from exceeding that level. +

    Hard Limit makes no change to the audio until the peaks reach the "Limit to (dB)" threshold. Where the input level (after applying optional input gain) exceeds the threshold, an equal amount of negative gain is applied so that the peaks never exceed the threshold. +

    Hard Clipping is the simplest method for reducing peaks. It just chops off the peaks at the "Limit to" threshold. Note that clipping causes distortion. Hard clipping may be useful for purposefully introducing distortion on high peaks, for example to add high harmonics to percussive sounds. Excessive use of hard clipping creates a harsh distortion that is usually unpleasant. For heavier use of distortion the "Soft Clipping" option may be preferable. Hard clipping may also be useful for producing synthetic signals for scientific purposes. +

    Soft Clipping works in much the same way as "Hard Clipping", but is less fierce in that it "squashes" the peaks rather than cutting them +off flat. Soft clipping starts to reduce the peaks a little below the threshold level and progressively increases its effect as the input level increases such that the threshold is never exceeded. When applied heavily, the effect is similar to a "Fuzz Box" effect. +


    +

    +
    The difference between "Hard" and "Soft" clipping is that "Hard" clipping cuts off the peaks flat, whereas "Soft" clipping rounds the corners where the waveform has been clipped, resulting in a softer sounding distortion.
    +
    +

    Input Gain

    +

    Amplifies the audio before applying the limiter. +

    As the limiter acts on audio peaks that exceed the Limit to (dB) threshold, it will clearly have little or no effect on audio tracks in which all of the audio is below the threshold level. In such cases, the audio should be amplified before limiting so that the limiter can work properly. Amplification could be applied using Audacity's Amplify effect, or more conveniently using the "Input Gain" controls. +

    For mono tracks, only the "mono/Left" gain control has any affect. For stereo tracks the left and right channel gains may be adjusted independently of each other. +

    +
    +

    Limit to (dB)

    +

    Limits the amplitude (after optional amplifying) to this level. +

    Whichever type is selected, the limiter prevents the waveform from exceeding this level. (Note that makeup gain, if used, is applied to the waveform after it has been limited.) +

    +
    +

    Hold

    +
    This applies only to the "Hard Limiter" and "Soft Limiter" settings. It has no effect when using either of the "Clip" settings.
    +

    In order to catch even the most sudden peak, the limiter "looks ahead" to see when the next peak is coming, and begins to reduce the gain just a little in advance of the peak. The gain level is then held at the reduced level for a short while before being released back to the normal level. Looking ahead and holding the gain level allows the gain to adjust more smoothly and reduces the amount of distortion. The shorter the "Hold" duration, the faster the limiter responds to changes in input level. It is generally desirable for the limiter to respond very rapidly, but responding too rapidly will produce distortion, especial when processing low frequency sounds such as a double bass. +

    Normally this control can be left at the default (10 ms) setting. +

    +
    +

    Apply makeup gain

    +

    Amplifies the output (post limiter) close to 0 dB (usually just a little below 0 dB). This is useful when using the limiter to maximize loudness. +


    +

    +
    Basically, a limiter reduces the gain (negative amplification) when the audio exceeds the "threshold" ("Limit to") level. The "Hold" time is how long (in milliseconds) the gain remains at the reduced level before returning back to normal. Usually you would want the gain to return back to normal pretty quickly after the peak has passed because you normally only want to limit the peaks and then return back to normal as quickly as possible. However, there is a problem if the limiter responds too quickly, and this is most noticeable when processing bass instruments. +

    If there is a very low note, say below 100 Hz, then the time from one peak to the next may be longer than the "hold" time. Thus the gain will start to reduce as the peak level rises, then will start to "release" (return to normal gain) between one peak and the next. This rapid "fluttering" of the gain level distorts the waveform, which is usually undesirable. The solution to the problem is simple - just hold the gain at the reduced level for a little while so that the limiter is responding to the overall shape of the note and not the individual waveform peaks. +

    Mixing

    Mixing can be done for a number of reasons, for example mixing speech with background music to make a podcast, or adding different instruments into the same song. Concatenating songs (for example, playing three songs one after the other) does not necessarily involve mixing, but if you wanted the songs to fade into each other it would involve mixing. -

    Within an Audacity project, you can physically mix multiple selected tracks into a single mono or stereo track using either of two explicit mix commands:

    • Tracks > Mix > Mix and Render - which replaces the original track(s) with the mixed track
    • Tracks > Mix > Mix and Render to New Track - which adds the mixed track to the project, preserving the original tracks.

    By default, multiple stereo tracks are mixed down to a single stereo file on Export.

    Also by default, multiple mono tracks are mixed down to a mono file, but if you pan any mono tracks to left or right or if there are any stereo tracks in the mix, the tracks are mixed to a stereo file. Note that the mono tracks are mixed to both the left and right channels of the resulting stereo file. +

    Exporting will automatically ignore any tracks on which the Mute button is pressed.

    The Mixed and Rendered track will be placed where the bottom selected track was and given the name "Mix".

    Unless, that is, a single selected track is rendered in which case it will retain its position, its track name and its properties (display type, waveform color)

    Note that this may be useful in retaining membership of any Sync-Locked Track group to which the track(s) may have formerly belonged.

    In Audacity, mixing is automatic. You could just put audio into two different tracks, play to listen to the result then export it as an audio file like MP3 or WAV or burn the WAV to Audio CD. @@ -82,9 +86,9 @@

    Sample Rate

  • 48000 Hz

    • Bit Rate Mode

    +

    These offer four different ways to control the trade-off between the size and quality of the exported files.

    • Preset: These are the settings recommended by the LAME developers for encoding music. Detailed descriptions of these settings are given in this article on hydrogenaudio.io.
      • Insane: The best possible encoding quality. This preset has a constant bit rate of 320 kbps, which is equivalent to 2.4 MB per minute. This setting is generally considered to be overkill as there is little if any difference in sound quality from the "Extreme" preset, but with much greater file size.
      • Extreme: Extremely high quality. This setting will normally produce transparent results, but with considerably smaller file size than the "Insane" preset.

      • Standard: Very good quality encoding. This is the default setting in Audacity.
      • Medium: Good sound quality suitable for casual listening or portable devices.
    Tip Adjusting the Volume -
    • This volume level can be modified separately for each track with the -....+ gain slider on the Track Control Panel of each track. Note this does not affect the volume level stored in the audio data and represented in the waveform, but is a modification on top of it. Avoid accidentally moving the gain slider away from center when exporting an audio file. If the slider goes too far to right, this may lead to excessive volume and therefore distortion in the exported file. If it goes too far to left, the file may not be audible.
    -
    • The volume slider on the Playback Meter controls only the volume at which you hear the tracks in Audacity. It does not affect the Playback Meter display. Only moving the gain slider, or changing the track volume by editing will affect the meter.
    -
    • If multiple tracks are played simultaneously, their volume is combined. You may need to move the gain sliders leftwards on each Track Control Panel to reduce the combined volume. To keep the current balance between all the tracks, move each slider to left by the same amount. To judge if you have distortion, look at the Playback Meter. If the colored bars are changing to red and hitting the right-hand edge of the scale and so bringing on the red hold lights to right of the meter, you have distortion in the output and must reduce the gain.

    3. Then run Effect > Low-Pass Filter to reduce high frequency noise. Set the cutoff frequency to suit the vintage of the record as follows:
      • 9,000 Hz or 10,000 Hz for recordings from the 1940s or later
      • 8,000 Hz for electrical recordings (1926 to 1939)
      • 7,000 Hz for acoustic recordings (before 1926).

      Use a roll-off of at least 12 dB per octave or even 24 dB per octave. Listen to the result to make sure the sudden cutoff of high-frequency noise does not sound too artificial.

    4. Then deal with the low frequency noise - select a "noise sample" from the current audio track (that is, a section of the recording that is surface noise only) and copy it to a new track. Use Analyze > Plot Spectrum to see the frequency content of the noise. Use the Low-Pass Filter effect on this noise sample to isolate the lower frequency noise, (for a very rough and ready setting, try a roll-off of 12 dB per octave at a cutoff frequency of 1,000 Hz). Then open Effect > Noise Reduction, select the low-passed noise sample and choose "Get Noise Profile". Finally, select the original track, open Noise Reduction again, choose the slider settings and run the effect.
    -

    An alternative, simpler, method for dealing with low frequency noise is to use Effect > High-Pass Filter to filter out frequencies below 20 Hz. It's amazing that the waveform can display these sub-sonic frequencies, usually deficiencies in the cutting lathe during the original recording session. +

    Spectral Selection and Edit
    - -
    Spectral Selection is used to make selections that include a frequency range as well as a time range on tracks in Spectrogram view. Spectral Selection is used with special spectral editing effects to make changes to the frequency content of the selected audio.

    Among other purposes, spectral selection and editing can be used for cleaning up unwanted sound, enhancing certain resonances, changing the quality of a voice or removing mouth sounds from voice work.

    All of the time-based selection techniques (horizontal selection) are still available when making a spectral selection, enabling you define the time rage of a spectral selection.

    Limitations

    -

    The permitted upper frequency of the spectral selection is determined by the Project Sample Rate and not by the track sample rate. Therefore if a project includes a track that has a lower sample rate than the Project Sample Rate, Spectral Selection Toolbar could display an "illegal" frequency selection above the Nyquist frequency for the track at the lower Project Sample Rate. Audacity will disregard this "illegal" selection when running Spectral edit effects. +

    General method of use To remove a control point, drag it outside the track (or use Edit > Undo to undo envelope changes in sequence).
  • By default you can warp playback speed by a maximum increase of 100% (200 on the vertical scale to left of the warp line) or a maximum decrease to almost zero on the vertical scale.
  • To change the usable limits for warp speed, right-click in the name of the Time Track and choose Range. Here you can specify the lower and upper speed limit of the vertical scale:
    • -
    Time Track Range dialog lower limit W10.png Time Track Range dialog upper limit W10.png

    Changing the range re-scales the Time Track to the new limits, preserving the warp value of any envelope points that were there before. Having changed the range, you can now move the warp line up or down anywhere within the new upper or lower limit of the range. -

    Converts the selected stereo track(s) into the same number of mono tracks, combining left and right channels equally by averaging the volume of both channels. The tracks will be rendered with any amplitude envelope or Gain/Volume and Pan settings applied.

    An important reason to convert stereo to mono is that it produces higher quality for the same bit rate (and hence file size) in lossy, compressed audio files like MP3 or AAC. Stereo Track to Mono is not available with stereo tracks split into left and right channels, or where the start or end positions of the channels are different.

All tracks that have not been collapsed using the Track Collapse Button or Collapse All Tracks menu item are resized so that each separate waveform has the same height. Accordingly mono tracks will have the same height as each other and stereo tracks will have the same height as each other (twice the height of the mono tracks).

Except for Scrub play, these playback commands play at standard speed, or as speeded up or slowed down over time by adding a Time Track envelope. The easiest way to play at a fixed faster or slower speed is to use Play-at-Speed Toolbar.

    Windows

    Mac

    Mac users have a quick way to import CDs, because when a CD is put in the drive, the CDA tracks are mounted as AIFF files in the Finder. It's thus possible to either drag the AIFF files from the Finder into Audacity, or use the File > Import > Audio command, instead of extracting the audio. -

    -
    - - - - -
    Advice -If you import CD tracks into Audacity from Finder and save them as a Project, the CD must be present next time you open the Project, unless you set Audacity to make a copy of the data. To do this choose Audacity > Preferences: Import / Export and where it says "When importing audio files", check the radio button: selected radio button Copy uncompressed files into the project (safer) (default setting). -

    Step 7: Check your mix

    -

    If you maximized the volume of your narration track back in Step 2 there is a good chance that when you mix it with the music track the resulting mix will be too loud and cause clipping - this is a bad thing. Remember, we maximized the volume and leveled out the loud and soft passages so that people would be able to hear you. To check for clipping, play back a short portion of the project where there is narration and background music. Watch the Playback Meter - if clipping occurs the red "clip bars" will appear at the right-hand end of the Playback Meter. If this happens, use the Track Gain Slider to turn down the volume of both the narration and music tracks to -2 dB. Listen to the short section again and look for the red clip bars on the Playback Meter. If clipping still occurs, turn down the volume of the narration and music tracks to -4 dB each. +

    Mixer

    -

    Mixer is an alternative view to the audio tracks in the main tracks window, and is analogous to a hardware mixer board. Each audio track is displayed in a Track Strip. Each Track Strip has its own pair of meters, gain slider, pan slider, and mute/solo buttons, echoing that track's controls in its Track Control Panel. The Mixer command is enabled whenever there's an audio track - it can even be brought up during playback. +

    Show Clipping in Waveform

    Click this menu item to turn display of clipped samples on and off - a check mark in the item indicates that display is turned on. If turned on (the default is off), individual or multiple clipped samples display as a red vertical line when in one of the waveform views. A sample is displayed as clipped if it touches or exceeds 0 dB and so touches or exceeds the volume envelope defined by +1.0 to - 1.0 on the vertical scale to left of the waveform.

    A run of four or more consecutive clipped samples will also trigger the red clipping indicator in Meter Toolbar. A solid block of red in the waveform will almost certainly indicate multiple or extended runs of lost audio information above 0 dB, resulting in severe distortion. Avoid clipped samples where possible, for example by setting the recording level correctly. You may turn "Show Clipping in Waveform" off if it behaves sluggishly on slower machines. @@ -213,7 +218,7 @@
