Audio CDs were designed do that. Export Multiple and in the audio CD authoring program, select 0 for silence between tracks. That's how symphonies are done. That lets you skip forward and back, too. There are not a lot of sound file formats that can do that. People have been known to make a YouTube ...

Before you get too far along (and remember to always keep archive copies of the raw, unprocessed work), USB microphones have a nasty habit of producing sound you can't hear. Normal analog microphone systems produce sound down in pitch to about 20Hz (truck driving by, earthquakes and thunderstorms). ...

What kind of headphones? Download and play this 39 second sound clip. It's a stereo test. Load it and play it on your Personal Music Player to make sure it's working OK and then use it for system and Audacity testing. http://www.kozco.com/tech/LRMonoPhase4.wav It's suspicious that your computer insi...

no audible buzz, even at +10dB amplification. The buzz will go up 6dB between one and two tracks. It will go up another 6dB between two and four tracks. So there's 12dB boost right there and we're only at four tracks. I'm not usually a fan of Noise Gate, but that may be the only way to help this. Koz

Which Audacity? The newer Noise Reduction in Audacity 2.1.0 and 2.1.1 is much improved over the earlier Noise Removal. People kept expecting Noise Removal to Remove Noise and it rarely did that.

The way I use it, it reduces volume more as the show gets louder. The problem is almost always that the overall volume (RMS) is too low and the peaks are too high. This is one process to cure that. I always get a very much reduced overall volume show after compression and then I follow it with the N...

How did you capture the Home Phone audio? If you like to use an inexpensive "Phone Recorder," that can upset the balance of the phone line and make it susceptible to cellphone radiation. That happens to a microphone recorder I have and one speaker system. I can hear the cellphone negotiati...

If you have all 32 track one over the other you can use MUTE and SOLO to tell Audacity which tack you want to listen to. Does the problem get worse as you add tracks? You only described the two extremes. Overdubbing has a relationship problem. One voice is 1/32 of the show, but any buzz on the micro...

If it's a stereo recording, sometimes you can use direction tools to help separate certain sounds from others. There are no pre-baked tools like that for Audacity. If its a mono recording, no. You would think you could split higher pitch woman's voice from men's using frequency tools, but human voic...
