Or you can record your microphone in stereo normally like you've been doing, convert to mono and delete the dead track. I did some tests with the UM2. If I tell Audacity to record in Stereo, I get the instrument on the right and my microphone on the left. If I record in Mono, I get my voice at norma...

I was going to double the rhythm track and pan them I'm with you. Some soundcards will mount either stereo or mono. Others mount in mono, but then mess with the performance volume when they do it. The 2i2 is a perfectly lovely stereo soundcard, and it's probably good to use it that way. It it reall...

Neewer E-10 soundcard No. Won't help. The short answer is stick with what was working before. The microphones in this series all work by a delicate juggling act between Pro and Home recording. Change any one thing, as you found, and some part of the system may stop working, sometimes weirdly at the...

As above, you can get back to a natural-sounding track by converting to two-track mono and just flush one of the two tracks. Mono (one blue wave) is generally recommended for single voice applications anyway, unless you have a client that requires something else. If you do, converting back to two co...

I should add, as an update,

Dueling posts.

No, having the blue waves vanish is not normal. When was the last time you clean restarted your Windows machine? Shift-Shutdown and just wait it out. Then restart. It will take much longer than normal, but more likely to start clean.

It's a real ghetto setup Doesn't bother me. I once shot the backing track for a television commercial on my laptop. No microphone, just the laptop. which included a mouse click and some breathing Audacity Noise Reduction works best on noises that don't change. Air conditioning, computer fans, refri...

There are ways to force the Skype computer to work, but depending on how you do it, the person at the far end could start hearing their own voice coming back in echo. That's insanely annoying and you can't do a show like that. And way down at the bottom are the podcasters who just plug everything up...

Both Macs have stereo Line In and Line Out and will plug right into a sound mixer. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PodCast_Studio_WS-60...

You can do this on two computers. That's how I did it. One computer handles recording and music playback, and the other is all Skype. Skype can't tell there's anything wrong. You put a small mixer in the middle for a complete radio production studio.

I'm more than likely doing this wrong to begin with. You're doing this wrong to begin with. Audacity is not recommended for recording Skype for production. We are bucking Skype's need to set it's own technical services and it doesn't matter what you want. Several people make software to record Skyp...
