A completely side issue is recording volume. As a fuzzy generality, the Audacity recording meters should jiggle around -6, the yellow zone. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/RecordingMetersMinus_6.jpg Your voice volumes are WAY low. Again with fuzzy arithmetic, I have to boost your voice 20dB t...

90Hz is such a weird tone. I think I got it. The stock Focusrite Scarlett Studio pack (nothing wrong with anything you're doing, by the way) doesn't have a shock mount. That's typically a rubbery, spidery, jiggly thing that holds the microphone. I made one out of plumbing parts and US Postal Service...

Missed one.

When you drag-select your cough, you can just delete with with your keyboard DEL key, but that will throw the performance timing off. Control-L does not.

Unless you're using that tinkling, new-age, Yoga, elevator music which has no beginning and no end, you don't. You pick the music first. If you are using New-Age, etc, you can copy and paste to the end until it's the right length. If you cut it just right, you can match the beginning and end tinkles...

You can silence a selection with Control-L.
You can Normalize to a goal value and that will stick.

It's likely I'm going to give you corrections that only work when applied to the original read. It'a a very newbie mistake to apply corrections to a performance and then save the new file on top of the old file—reuse the old filenames. This destroys the original read making it impossible to "go...

We need a raw sound clip. No processing or effects. The clip has multiple problems, but I can't give you the list or the corrections without knowing where you started. Use this as a suggestion how to submit a clip to the forum. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/TestClip/Record_A_Clip.html Also plea...

If you're looking for visual cues for a specific musical event, then you may be stuck with Zooming and inspecting the blue waves, and yes, they originated on the face of a scope. When you find the exact point you want, set a label there. Labels are sticky so when you drag-select, the drag marker wil...

I'm not a linux elf, but that is six versions out of date.

Audacity 2.1.1 is available here.

You could have a cross-Linux problem, too. For that you need to wait for the Linux elves.

Isn't it also possible to park an Audio Silence track last down on the bottom, longer than the show? I know that's one way to resolve the Export problem, where Audacity will not export "no data" silences. In the case of the supervisory silence track, Audacity uses that to "heal" ...
