Hello all!
I am very new to Audacity, just having started with it, approximately
two weeks back,
I am self-tought.
I have learned how to import and export mp3 files. Can someone
kindly assist me with how to record songs as well as how to create my
own CDs, once I have compiled enough songs?
Thanks!
Jerome.

Hi Vitor
As well as reading the peak recording level, you can read the peak
playback level. The problem is that you have to play through the entire
track to be sure you have found the peak. My approach (and others may
have more rigorous options) is to:
1. Select the whole track.
2. Open Amplify from the Effects Menu.
3. You will be offered a default value. If it is - say - 5db the peak
is minus 5.
Depending on the consistency of the recording, that may or may not be
very useful. One loud click can make the rest of the track lower than
it would otherwise be. I use Sound Finder in the Analyse Menu (not its
intended purpose) or Peak Finder to track down peaks. It is then a
matter of deciding what to do about them.
Ask further if the above is off the mark.

Hello all.
How can i read the peak level of a file in Audacity?
For instance, when i go to the recording control, i can adjust the
level at which my voice or any sound is going into the system.
That's nice and easy.
What i would like to know is the volume level of a file i have opened,
such as a song or a music peace i might import into the project.
The idea is to know exactly the peack level at which the music plays,
and then normalizing and applying the right ammount of compression.
How can we read that? Thank you.
