we all clap at once How do you know you're clapping at once? The cell service is notorious for delays and odd hitches. "Hello?" [way longer than normal pause] "Hello, this is June from the doctor's office." Or are your delays not that bad? Some services do way better than others...

Yes. You double click the AUP file with the same name and it will launch Audacity and open the _DATA folder for you. This is an Audacity Project. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg You need both parts. Can you still find the AUP file? Once the Project opens in Audacity, t...

Oh, wait. Your coordination is by cellphone, not internet. So they would hold their cellphones up to their microphones to record your clap?

Is there an issue with adding multiple tracks at once? I don't know of one, but I'm not the heavy editing expert. I think this version has trouble with drag-and drop. Describe how you do the clap sync. Each location is one "internet" away from the others and you, so everything is always g...

I'll buy and try the X2u USB adapter. Before you do that, I have an X2U and I'm not a fan. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/x2uShureOverdub.jpg It produces low volume recordings with higher noise than I think is good. I haven't done a real job with it because of poor sound. I complained to Sh...

The Envelope Tool only gets lower in volume. The goal is to achieve a pleasant mix without overload sound damage (blue waves too tall or the sound meter turning red). Then if you need it louder after that , you need to use one of the compression tools to increase the density of the work. That's what...

Generate > Silence. Make that track longer than you expect the show duration. For example, in a 2-1/2 hour show, make the silent track 3 hours. You can increase the length of the silent track later if you run out. This is a graphic example. The top three "entertainment" tracks have been sl...

Audacity will not Save a sound file. You have to Export to get one, and it won't Export an MP3 without adding software. Download and install the Lame software package. I don't know if this Lame will work with 2.0.0.

Just for grins and giggles, Generate a silent track on the bottom of the stack out of the way. Make it long and do not edit the other tracks out of Start and Stop range of this silent track. That is, no other audio should stick out either sooner or later than this track. When you Export the final sh...

instead of trying to post from my phone. The Auto Correct was getting. A little challenging two work a round. When I post like that, I make really good use of the Preview button at the bottom of the text window. It presents my message in final posting form and font and for some reason the typos and...
