Many sound mixers can do that.

The Behringer UM2 microphone interface can do that. It's recommended that you listen to yourself when you read for audiobooks to avoid volume wandering which is hard to correct.

would really like to hear my tones while I'm recording live Not with normal Audacity, no. Any service Audacity offers is going to have a delay or echo because of the multiple passes through digitizing. This is the same problem overdubbing performers have. You need a microphone system that features ...

"There is no appliation set to open the document 'Acx-check.ny'" Correct. You have to be careful not to double click it or do anything else to suggest you want to launch it. Your job is to get it in the right folder so Audacity can get to it. Also as above, make sure your system doesn't t...

project_data file It's a folder. The AUP file is the instructions or recipe that tells Audacity what to do with all the little fragments, slips and segments inside the _DATA folder. Neither is much good without the other, particularly if you have an edited show. Did you get an error message and wha...

Harry Potter reference. I designed a suite of tools using three main "spells" or tools to get the work done. There is another suite that starts the dance with noise reduction and uses different tools as it goes. Your mileage may vary, etc. The only restriction I know of is you must stick w...

We publish a one-pass audiobook correction suite. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=96103 It's not the only way to do this, but if you have a reasonably quiet, well behaved performance, those three tools will put you in the middle of ACX-Check and out the door without triggering...

Did ACX complain about it, or are you guessing? I probably wouldn't use the phrase "Normalizing" because Effect > Normalize is an included tool with basic Audacity and it's way too simple to correct volume problems such as yours. As you noticed, the mastering tools all assume you were reas...

Pyle dual cassette deck with USB transfer Maybe none of those. Nobody is throwing awards at your built-in soundcard for sound quality. It's got sensitive analog electronics in the same box with the noisy video card and hard drive electronics. If you buy a new internal soundcard to manually install,...

You can confuse ACX-Check. ACX Check searches for a half-second of quiet in your show and measures that for noise. If there is no half-second, it takes what it can get and probably gives you crazy high noise readings. So somewhere in the performance, freeze and hold your breath for about a second. W...
