Steve,
After adjusting each track's gain to your liking, the mix down will need to
be adjusted or compressed again. Why? The total gain will likely be
negative. This means clipping.

Hi to all and a big thank you who have helped with this question. I found
some info on the web as well that pointed me to the gain menu, CTRL G. From
there I arrowed down once to the set gain area where I used the left and
right arrows to change the volume. It seems too easy and I wonder if this
changes just the volume on playback or if this changes the volume in the
project that is being manipulated.

Hi Steve
Ted can give you more precise info via Skype, but the following may give
food for thought. Without knowing how much you know already, I may give too
much or too little detail here. If too little, by all means ask for more.
The first crucial issue to understand is selecting and deselecting
individual tracks. Pressing Enter will toggle selection and JAWS will
announce the change. To make changes to a track it must be selected. If
you inadvertently have more than one track selected that can lead to tears,
although Audacity's undo feature is good.
Having selected a track, you can adjust the level for all of it or just a
selection. I won't go into further detail here about that, a this mp3 intro
<https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/v56cn4> I did a while ago may be of
interest.
Having selected the audio whose level you want to adjust, go to the Effects
Menu (alt-c) and arrow down to Amplify. The value you are offered is what
will take the audio to 0dB, but you can choose whatever value you want,
either increasing or decreasing the level.
I suggest practising on a non-crucial recording.
Andrew

Hi folks. I have a test project with 4 tracks, drums, bass,
guitars ETC. I'd like to know how I can adjust each track separately, guitar
down, drums up ETC. Thanks for any help.

Hi Diane!
Well it's good that you're sorted for the time being. It's hard to guess
what might prevent your keys from working. One thing that occurs to me is
that if a track is playing while another track is soloed, you don't
necessarily notice it. In that case some key strokes, such as j and k won't
work, while cursor left/right won't seem to have an effect. If you then
press space, thinking you're starting playback, you have in fact stopped it.
And of course, j and k won't have an effect if no track is selected. Even if
your project contains one track only, it needs to be selected by pressing
Enter.
Cheers! Robbie

Hi Robbie,
I am using a Dell desktop running the latest version of Windows 10, Audacity
2.2.1.0 and JAWS 2018. I was trying to rescue my old project file, but then
last night decided to rerecord my document. The current file is working
properly. By the way, there is audio in the old project. I am able to play
it but a lot of it is missing. and as I said, the keyboard commands don't
all work. If you have any ideas about what could be causing the problem, I
will keep them for future reference, but my current project is all good.
Thanks.
Diane

Hi Diane!
Please let us know if you're on Windows or Mac, which screen reader and what
version of Audacity you're using.
If you reinstalled the program, that means you saved the apparently damaged
version of the project?
If as you say the key strokes for navigating a track do not work, that
suggests that there is no track in the project. Can you move the cursor up
and down? If not, press alt-t, n, s to add a new track. That track will be
numbered according to the number of tracks in the project. If there is no
track in the project, the new track will be Track 1. In that case your
project is empty. If the new track has any other number, there are tracks
still in the project. Let's take it from there.
Cheers! Robbie

Hi Everyone,
I am in a lot of trouble with this Audacity I think. I am in a project and
apparently erased most of it. The usual commands for navigating the track
aren't working. I have tried reinstalling the program with no results. I
guess my project is toast, but I'm hopping someone can help me rescue it.
Thanks.
Diane
