Hi Members,
Thanks to all who have provided feedback to my questions. I have one more.
If you have tried to improve the highs, do you notice that programs like
GoldWave and Sony Sound Studio do a better job of this than Audacity? When
I worked with Audacity, two things happened that bothered me. First all of
my marks for DAISY use were stripped from the file. Second, I could not tell
any real difference in the tone of the file I had supposedly changed.
Any thoughts on these matters are appreciated.
Tim

Hi Tim,
it's fairly straightforward to apply an effect to just part of the audio.
To select some audio you have to select one or more tracks, and then the
time range you want.
When a track is the focus, pressing enter toggles whether the track is
selected.
To select a time range, you first move the cursor to either the start or
the end of the range you want to select, and then you set the other end of
the time range. There are several ways both of moving the cursor, and
setting to other end of the time range.
For example, during playback, you can press the left bracket key to move
the cursor to where you want the time range to start, and then right
bracket to set the end of the selected time range.
If you need more info just post some more questions.
In addition, there's more relevant info in the playback, moving the
cursor, and selecting audio sections of this guide:

Hi List Members,
I am trying to find a simple way to make portions
of a wav file (a converted cassette) sound brighter so that the highs are
not so
muffled. The file is several hours long, and I just want to change
certain
portions of that file. Is there an easy way to do this in Audacity, or
should I try Sound Forge, Sound Studio or GoldWave, or some other
program?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Tim
