====== Audacity: Adjusting Volume ======

===== introduction =====

There are several ways to change the volume of a track in Audacity.

  - gain slider (doesn't affect the waveform, but will affect exported audio)
  - amplify (affects the waveform
  - normalization
  - [[audacity-add-envelope|envelope tool (it's even got its own page here!)]]
