The 802 has a power supply brick, right? Plugs into the wall? Where is it? You should keep it away from the microphone or the microphone cables. The power supply brick for my tiny sound mixer hates microphones. MMMMMMMMMMMMM. That's one of the lesser problems in your test sound file.

Behringer Xenyx 802 via a Line in connection. That may be one problem. The 802 is a perfectly respectable sound mixer, but most computers don't have Line-In. Describe the computer. One of the problems I heard can be caused by this connection. There is a Home Recording Conundrum. It's usually best t...

The raw file is before you did anything to it, right? You have an odd collection of problems, but I think the first and most serious one is you're not loud enough. Your voice looks like this on the timeline. Screen Shot 2020-12-06 at 2.53.02 PM.png It's supposed to look more like this (approximately...

You still have a "magic" sound problem.

Is the track Stereo? Two blue waves one over the other?

I record small foreign language audio files

You personally speak "foreign" languages into a microphone? Which microphone and how is it connected and to what?

There are ways to record live voice such that it creates "evil" sound files that will not play universally.

Is there a trick to make this* possible? As I understand this, the trick is not to layer many different sound tracks and change them at will, the problem is how do we listen to this performance without multi-track Audacity running. There's no performance sound format which will do that. There is an...

mp3 and mp4 files Are they mixed song files? I'm not sure anybody can do that. MIDI isn't a sound format. It's machine control. MIDI has to know which instrument, what note, how loud, how long, and sustain. For every note. On each instrument. Some software packages might be able to create a MIDI pe...

LA320 That will do it. Vacuum tubes have their down sides—don't drop it—but they do sound good. I'm going to see if I can find the instruction manual. I had the gain low enough on my interface to pass the noise floor check. Or the microphone has enough volume not to need a high 2i2 setting. it can ...

We can try an oblique test. Audacity will play back any number of backing tracks at the same time to your headphones. This is what lets you sing four-part harmony to yourself. Keep accumulating voices. Does it still do that if you have two or more backing tracks? Does it get worse or better? Does th...

Missed one.

Why do I need to know what kind of plugin it is? Audacity should tell me if it can't figure it out.

"I have no idea what you have there, but it's not a plugin type I recognize."
