    Audacity question

    Does the Amplify effect in Audacity have known bugs?

    I have used it before to increase levels, but if I go the other way I find I can still hear the sound with apparently very little increased attenuation down to about -60dB. The results seem somewhat erratic. I know that hearing is non linear (perception wise), but I would expect it to get harder to hear a sample each time I attenuate the waveform. I did manage to get something I couldn't hear, but not quite sure how I did that - not consistently repeatable by a known process.

    Perhaps there are number representation issues. I assumed that Audacity would use floating point arithmetic, so should be good to rather low levels.

    It works for me
    I'm not sure what you mean at all

    " I find I can still hear the sound with apparently very little increased attenuation down to about -60dB." ?

    If I amplify a sound to -60db I hear nothing
    What do you want to do ?

      I think he means that as he tries to turn the level down, it remains the same.
