Hi Craig, maybe you can help me. I've had to reload audacity as I re-set my computer. However, I used to have a program that helped me check and reset the recording volume but I can't find it and can't remember what it was called. You wouldn't happen to know what I'm talking about would you?

Below are two options for determining volume level:
1.Use the instructions below to install the plugin ReplayGain into Audacity.
- Click this link,
http://forum.audacityteam.org/download/file.php?id=4685
and save the file to your computer - somewhere you can find it.
- Then go to the folder in which Audacity is installed (on my computer, it's in C:\Program Files (x86)\Audacity) and open the Plug-Ins folder.
- Drag or copy the file you saved into the Plug-Ins folder.
- The next time you start up Audacity go to Effect/ReplayGain* and it'll tell you how much you can amplify your file. If you highlight part of the file it will tell you how much you can amplify just that part of the file. It does not give you the exact dB of the file but it can be inferred from how much it tells you to amplify.
*If you do not see the plugin (near the bottom of the Effect dropdown menu), then at the very top of the Effect menu click on Add/Remove Plugins. You may need to "enable" the plugin. Once enabled restart Audacity and look for the plugin in the Effect dropdown menu.
2. Another useful program is Mp3Gain. It gives you actual dB levels for the audio file and it can also analyze multiple files (e.g. an entire book). It is a separate program independent from Audacity and is available free at the following link:

thanks Craig, the one I had in mind was MP3gain - but will give the replaygain a try too. I'll work on next recording over weekend.

By Jove, I think it is finished. Over to you Craig. Thanks for your hard work (and promptness). My apologies for dragging this out longer than it should have. Thanks. Now, let's hope true Maori speakers aren't mortified at my pronunciation!
