There are some hidden items in that illustration. I intentionally bought a new, but older design MacBook Pro in order to get Analog Stereo Out and Analog Stereo In. Newer Macs don't do that any more, but I don't need the separate interfaces you do. The machines plug right into the mixer. I did a sig...

If you plug in a cheap analog headset, you won't need stereo mix. Just straight recording the mono Mic-In. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PCHeadset.jpg You only need Stereo Mix when the computer is originating the show as in YouTube or on-line content. Not if you're making the show yourself,...

It's been, what, nine hours. Can I assume you figured it out?

Oh and check your e-mail. I check my email reliably every fortnight or so. I'll break the rhythm for you. A sound presentation that goes occasionally into the yellow will be in much better shape for post processing. If you do it perfectly, it should be possible to adjust the sound level and make co...

It's our old friend Frying Mosquitoes. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/clips/FryingMosquitoes3.wav The short answer is no. We had high hopes for a USB filter adapter to go between the microphone and the computer, but that hasn't been going well. Mine is coming in the post. Flynwill already has his an...

It....I....what?

Open up Noise reduction test (raw).wav. Does that go into the yellow? If your capture goes into the yellow, then the raw WAV should, too. Unless you included processing and it's not raw any more. I'm lost about what those clips are.

Is the same channel active when you swap microphones? Does the problem follow the microphone or the 2i2? Is Audacity set for Stereo in the Device Toolbar? Are you in 44100, 16-bit, Stereo? Start there before you go nuts with 24-bit and 96000 sample rates. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/device_...

I don't expect it to be a problem, either. I need to look at the 2i2 documents. Is the 2i2 one of the USB adapters that needs special software to do its tricks? Audacity will not easily work with ASIO software....

Understand I'm not calling that clip poor because it sounds bad. I'm calling it poor because it's brittle . There are some very serious corrections in there and the errors are cleverly hidden (very much how MP3 works). If you then need post production like compression, click removal, further equaliz...

That's very low volume and the voice competes directly with the system noise. It makes the rescue effort very difficult. Effect > Normalize: [X] Remove DC, [X] Normalize to 3.2 dB > OK.
