Wav file download transfers in at too high a level
Is there a level control on a download from dropbox. I can listen to a wave file on site but if I try to download it to my computer it comes in hot. It saturates the audio file into the red.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi rtonrhythm, let's jump right into this!
When you use Dropbox to download (or upload) your content, there's no way to control the download itself.
Dropbox will upload, and download the file as is, without altering it. You mentioned that the audio file is saturated when you download it: is it possible that it was uploaded that way?
Also, have you checked your audio program, or used a different one, just to check if the results are the same?
Let me know more!
and trying to work with it in Audacity

Hi rtonrhythm, the file on the site would be no different to the file downloaded to the computer.
There may be a little bit of audio compression in the audio itself in the preview, however, there isn't a way to edit the audio itself directly.
The playback on line is as clean as it could be. I could copy the file in real time with sound tap but cannot do a download transfer. What program is playing back the original file in a stream from the site.
- Jay
There isn't a specific program doing the playing, it would only be using the existing codecs used by the browser to render the audio.
- So how do I secure a copy of the file as it plays directly on drop box
