If you have something carefully selected, Export Sound File use the selection. If you don't select anything or select everything, Export Sound File takes the whole show. I know it's heresy taking tools out, but seriously. What else could you want? How many 1900 MB one minute sound files have you exp...

While it is possible to unscramble that (it's designed for a Skype-type headset), what you may be left with is a distorted mono recording. I use a stereo USB sound adapter designed for music and high quality sound work. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo-650.jpg That's a Behri...

I can make it better (attached) but it will be a struggle to make Audiobook Standards if that's what you're asking. The original clip is very badly damaged. The first clue is the serious DC offset. See the blue waves have a little "up" at about the 1/4 second mark. That's not supposed to b...

After you split them apart, select one track by clicking just above MUTE. The tools and filters should only affect that one track.

I hope somebody here has Logic. I don't think Audacity "knows" anything about violins. The best you can do is analyze a musical note—by hand—and tell that it's probably Bb. And that only works when the note is playing by itself. If you're in the habit of splitting individual instruments of...

Was he actually on 1200 Vinyl turntables? When the DJ pushes the speed control on those things, they drop crystal control. There is an internal setting where you adjust the free-run speed so it more or less matches the crystal control in the middle of the slider. Anywhere but the middle click, the r...

As I understand it, the known problems have to do with an inability of Audacity to use the Apple filters. On Macs, the filter list includes a bunch of AU This and AU That custom Apple filters. That stopped dead in Yosemite. It's possible there were other shortcomings as well, but that's the main one...

Describe the headset in detail. Model numbers, makers, connection type. It's one of these, right? Analog headset? http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/PCHeadset.jpg Most of the buzz is power related. You're in the US? There is a big 60Hz (barely audible) and then every multiple and harmonic up. Th...

Use the drop-down menus to the left of the track and Split Stereo Track. Same menus to recombine when you're finished. Are you completely sure the low level side of the show is actual show and not just quiet trash? You can use the SOLO and MUTE buttons after you split the tracks to listen. If it rea...

everything lights up perfectly fine on the mixer, up to 6 and everything.

I know you're doing this in a dead run, but you have to pay attention. I also said to listen to it on the mixer and make sure it sounds perfect. Did you do that step?
