To create a new control point, just click. This type of fading a track in and out can give you a much nicer transition and control over the levels than the previous method. In this example handle #2 has been lowered to decrease the volume or fade the track out until it reaches handle #3 at which point it will increase in volume to its original level. The top and bottom handles are positioned at the target volume, and the middle handles are positioned a quarter-screen down, giving you a way to move the envelope above the 1.0 level.

Each control point has up to four 'handles' arranged vertically. In the figure above, there are four control points. Each control point can be used to set the volume of the track at that point in time and Audacity will interpolate the volume smoothly between multiple points. Using the Envelope tool lets you change the volume of a track gradually over time by adding a number of control points to the track.

This method is harder to master but can achieve much finer control over how and when tracks are faded in and out. Uses the Envelope tool to control how tracks fade in and out. To avoid this it may be desirable to select a smaller section of track just before the previously faded selection and then select Effect -> Amplify again, this time selecting a slightly larger number on the Amplification slider like -4dB and then doing a similar modification to a section after the originally faded selection. This method may end up sounding a bit abrupt. Then either preview and adjust or hit ok. In the dialog that opens move the Amplification slider down (left) to about -10dB. Audacity can also be vulnerable, soft, reserved, and gentle and it’s critical that we hold both interpretations if we are to direct ourselves to what gives us meaning and purpose.Īudacity is simply about fully stepping into your life with mission and agency.Select the part of your track that you wish to fade then select Effect from the main menu, then Amplify. If the word is still sounding too aggressive to you, remember that audacity has often been viewed through a masculine lens - loud, brash, fiery, in your face, courageous, and bold. When you step into The audacity to move toward your goals, this is where you’ll find your self-worth and your brilliance to make things happen. Your lifeforce energy keeps draining as long as you use safety and comfort as a crutch, what I call a ‘slow burn depression’. When we asked our latest cohort for the program what audaciousness meant to them, one client simply said, “Going deep, getting real, and screwing fear and the horse it rode in on.” Now that’s audacious!īeing audacious in your life can result in more than reaching your goals - it gives you confidence along the way. To move out of a ‘stuck’ place in your life and live the life of your dreams, often requires some audacity on your part. I have come to really appreciate this word.Īudacity is one of the themes of my program with David Kaar, “Face Your Dragon”. The other is “a willingness to take bold risks” and this is the kind of audacity I encourage from my clients. I remember thinking at the time, “why is hope audacious?” I had only ever heard the word used to describe rude or disrespectful behavior - which is, in fact, one of its definitions. ~ Henry David ThoreauĪudacity is a word I never heard used much aside from Barack Obama’s book, The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream. What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. Posted by Karin Green on Tuesday, January 12, 2021
