Audacity: adjust volume - how it works

If a recording has become too loud or too quiet or it varies greatly, you can adjust the volume in Audacity later. We'll show you how it's done.

Adjust volume in Audacity individually

1. Start the program and open the recording in Audacity.
2. To the right of the record button you will find the "envelope tool", symbolized by the two triangles.
3. Click the button and move the mouse over the audio track. The cursor has now changed to the triangles.
4. Hold down the soundtrack at a desired point with the left mouse button and move up, down, left or right - depending on how you want to change the volume.
