[eMINTS] Audacity / Sound question

[Cushman, Michael]

In Audacity, once you have recorded, select all (Apple+A OR Control+A),
and then go to Filter on the Menu Bar, then to Normalize.  This will
taken the loudest part of the recording to within 3dB of the loudest it
can be.

It's always best to record at the loudest possible level without
distortion.  If you need more information, contact me privately, and I
can give a more detailed explanation.

Hope this helps.

Within Audacity, below the mute solo buttons in the audio track box
there is a slide that adjusts the gain.  After recording I usually
adjust it by +12db.  Then I save it and it is much louder and easier to
hear than the default level.  Hope this helps.

Hi there!

I did a quick podcast with my kiddos today, and we are hearing
everything fine on my computer, but the students cannot hear much on
their machines. What they can hear is extremely soft. I've monkey'd with
sound settings and cannot find what is wrong. 

Here's a link to our podcast * will you let me know if you are unable to
hear it? Thanks!!
