Poof, as if by magic.
The instructions indicate that both the DBX Preamp and the Scarlett accept that kind of cable (click on the image).

I think that's no cigar. The Focusrite (both 2i2 and 2i4) switch to delicate, high sensitivity microphone service automatically if you plug in an XLR cable. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/XLR-Cable-500.jpg From the instructions: Note the Scarlett 2i4 has no “Mic/line” switch – the Focusrite prea...

I cross-posted a question about installing multiple versions of Audacity. You should either write down or screen capture the setup screens on each current performance correction you do.

Audacity doesn't apply filters, effects or c...

As a stop-gap, you can use the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows) to shove the tracks back into alignment. Any other damage? http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tools_toolbar.html Scroll down. Is this a USB sound adapter or microphone? When was the last time you hard restarted your machine? ...

We should find out how to install two different Audacity versions in Windows. I don't think that's a published process.
