OK, so maybe not in software. What's the microphone? Details. How are you recording?

The video clips are up to you. Audacity won't manage video. There is a pre-baked instruction set for overdubbing/sound-on-sound. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/tutorial_recording_multi_track_overdubs.html Audacity > Edit > Recording: [X]Overdub... (select). Leave everything else off. That sett...

You want a cough button. Broadcasters have a microphone supervisory button right in front that allows them to make unfortunate noises without them becoming part of the show. It's a button, not a series of activities. My head went into low earth orbit when I read this post because this is old news. N...

You may have given us a hint. The early "Beats Audio" soundcards and devices were not gifts from the angels. They seem to be doing much better now and they're products are popular, but when they started..... As a generic fix, are there updated drivers and software modules for your machine?...

What does it mean?

The obvious shift is between the waveform peaks and the RMS value. They don't have to track. Any performance with leading percussion is going to have serious peak values compared to overall loudness. You have a very serious problem if you have RMS higher than peak. Add the background noise value and...

Instead of becoming a compression expert, you should try Chris' Compressor. Chris wrote it so he could listen to opera in the car. He had the same problem you do. One violin wailing plaintively in the south forty followed by the full orchestra and chorus blasting away at full volume. https://theauda...

A useful idea?

They are far more evil than you think. If you have a mono show (one blue wave) and you bump the pan control, you now have a stereo show whether you want one or not. If you Export, you will have two blue waves.

to line-in jack. Where did you get that from? Almost all Windows laptops are missing the Stereo Line-In jack and nobody owns a desktop any more. Does it actually say that (I know one machine which does). what could have changed since yesterday? I don't remember if Win7 has Windows Enhanced Services...

I found this web page of different ideas. http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/save-voice-recording-android-phone-computer/ You can extend the number of different sound files that Audacity will accept by adding the FFMpeg software. It's not clear which computer you have, so drill down from here: http://...
