Behringer U-Phoria UM2, but it combines the two inputs into a mono mix) Let's take that one first. If you mount a UM2 stereo in Audacity, it will put the live microphone on the left and the instrument on the right, and record it that way.

Have a decent dynamic USB mic Whose name and model number is? It's handy for us to build your studio in our heads. We can look up manuals and instructions and see if you're using your microphone as it is intended, for one example. Dynamic USB microphone are a little odd. Microphone makers usually g...

Are there any plugins you'd recommend for DeSibilating? I'm wondering why you're sibilating in the first place. SM58s don't do that. Something is off. Up for a ten second sound test? Read down the blue links. They're really short. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/TestClip/Record_A_Clip.html Don'...
