Audacity doesn't do much in real time. You can create the tracks as above and zig zag back and forth in post production with the Envelope Tool.

Did you empty your Trash Can? Did you close Audacity? You should be thinking of what to do if the show never comes back. Is it an edited show or production? If it is, that's the end of the world. The AUP file is a list of all your edits, filters, corrections and effects. Without that, you have a _DA...

Audacity will record one thing and if that one thing is a single network connection, then you're golden. But you have to mix before Audacity gets the work.

Audacity has Auto Duck. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/auto_duck.html You do want to be careful about using that. Constant pumping background music can get annoying after a while. If it's really background music, leave it in the background. Reserve special effects for beginnings and endings. If ...

same tempo though. I bet not. I bet if you record an hour show you don't get an hour file. A low or slow recording is a little weird because that means the machine was recording too fast. It's much more normal to record a high pitched and fast show because that means the machine was too busy to rec...
