Anyone good with Audacity?
Basically i import my mix into audacity and it looks like this:
All good but when i amplify it via the effects menu it ends up looking like this?!
Wtf
It has never done this before? And i don’t think i have changed any settings
Help @mks (usually sorts all my shit out lol) but anyone else who might have a clue??

That looks right. How does it sound? Is there any clipping happening?

Nah look again at both pics it is missing 1 channel and half the mix has shrunk or disappeared and look at the end of the wave form it is all identical. Deff not right
Also wtf is with them 2 squared lol so weird

Oh, you are right. I was looking at the waveform. You are missing the right channel. Do you have it set to render in mono?

I don’t really know Audacity that well. I usually use SoundForge.

I think you need to select the whole stereo waveform before applying effects.

Nah cuz i have done it before without selecting and done it with selecting, both work. But no luck
download reaper, load your mix in it, put a limiter on master (this one free https://www.kvraudio.com/product/loudmax-by-thomas-mundt ), even with threshold set high it’ll sound louder than audacity amplified

He doesn’t really need to install a full blown DAW for some stereo editing. He most likely just has some mis-configured setting that is causing this.

it’s all part of a plan to get him to eventually start producing m8

64 bit unless you have a 32 bit Mac.

Did you try selecting the whole file? Did you try to take whatever effect off and test it with another effect?
What are you using? Normalize? HamVST?

anyone know how to clear all the peaks instead of doing it individually?
atm i’m having to zoom in like fuk to edit it with the pencil.
like this
Something in the effects drop down menu??
Very tedious doing it the way i do it, takes ages:
Jus wanna cut the peaks cuz then i can amplify more
