Use the Time Shift Tool (two sideways black arrows) to push track 2 so the trailing voice of track one matches up with the leading voice of track two. Yes, that means track two has to start before the end of track one. Don't worry about the silent stretches, they should vanish if the recording is qu...

Post it just as it comes out. Don't help it. We had one poster who had really odd sound clips on the forum and it turned out he was trying to "help us hear it" by making the clip louder with the volume sliders. True, he wasn't applying any effects or filters, but still. That threw us off f...

Number 4. The Four Horsemen of Audio Recording (reliable, time-tested ways to kill your show) -- 1. Echoes and room reverberation (Don't record the show in your mum's kitchen.) -- 2. Overload and Clipping (Sound that's recorded too loud is permanently trashed.) -- 3. Compression Damage (Never do pro...

Audacity 2.1 is a bogus version. You can get Audacity 2.1.0 from here. http://audacityteam.org/download/ Which Windows do you have? What are you recording and how do you have it connected?

If you File > Import two audio tracks into Audacity one after the other, they should arrive one over the other and play at the same time. Isn't that what you have?

We can't do music generation and Audacity doesn't manage MIDI very well. I don't know of any way to "press this button and get a violin." If you can find a drum pad set that has an analog audio out, you could use Audacity to record that without any actual drum sound in the apartment. Just ...

You could post a little bit of good and then bad sound here.

Let's step away from the shipping list for a second [said in a calm, reassuring voice] and work on the show. Describe the show. In detail. Music at the opening, announcer/presenter and then the for or five guests talking. Then taking questions on the Skype connection and maybe more music. Then the c...
