I'm trying to get my recordings to come out louder.  Both the input and output 
meters are set to 100 percent, as is the microphone setting on the record page 
of the volume utility, and the 20 DB boost is checked.  So I tried to use the 
gain feature with puzzling results.  First I select the whole track, then press 
shift G to bring up the gain dialog.  Using either the edit field or the slider 
in that box, I'm able to boost the volume.  But then if I delete that take and 
redo it, and try the same procedure it doesn't work.  If I exit Audacity and 
restart it, the gain works fine, but I don't want to have to do that for each 
take.  What am I doing wrong here?
