You missed some serious information. What did you plug into the computers? It shouldn't sound tinny. It should sound muffled. AM radio works out to about 5KHz and you're not much higher than that. I haven't done an actual sound test yet, but I have a Zoom H4 and the idea of shooting a simple sound t...

I can't find anything wrong with it. It hits all three ACX specifications. I like that you didn't smash the life out of the silent stretches, that I can hear you moving and just a hint of real life background noise. I can hear you breathing. You're human!!

No. You're stuck. We can't split two voices apart in the same show. Vocal Removal works on a store-bought stereo song by deleting anything in the left-right center of the song. Usually, that's the lead singer. So it doesn't "know" what a singer is. The tool doesn't work at all on a mono so...

Did you do the singing pars, too, or only the rap voice? How did you get the backing track? It seems pretty clean. Did you buy it that way or make it from another song?

Or did you do the whole thing starting from an empty room?

A hip hop song i made

View > Toolbars... > Reset Toolbars. That should put everything back to normal in the Audacity main window. Make sure your USB device is plugged in and restart Audacity. Audacity checks for new devices when it starts. Then use the device toolbar to select the USB device. Unfortunately, it would be t...
