Are you trying to export the new work on top of your old work — with the same filenames? Until you get everything to work right, I would export to Some Place Else and then delete the old work later. If something goes wrong with the way you're doing it now, you could end up with no files. WAV files d...

Before you get all excited, Stereo Mix contains all the sounds playing on the computer... including the incoming voice from the far end. That means without a lot of tricks, the far voice is going to go back to them after the delays of two pathways and one computer. That's one of the things I was try...

You are perfectly correct. The fact that the ffffffffff is there in addition to the voices is what kills you. There is no good recovery for hissy voices.

The video people have a bad joke called "The Reshoot Filter." You take the camera out.........

It's not more complicated than that. It's job is to raise the noise in relation to the show. It's normal job is to reduce extreme or destructive sound peaks in relation to the average show volume, but the fact remains it shrinks (compresses) the loud parts to match the quiet ones. You might like a C...

I think your'e missing a value. You want it to switch between values like Frequency Shift Keying, or sine modulation like a broadcast transmitter? I don't think we can do either one, but it's good to know.

We don't know if Windows sees the mixer.

Did you restart Audacity after you plugged the mixer in?

If you're getting the music from a stand-alone player, that will get you around the latency and delay overdubbing issues, but you still need to be on headphones.

I'm guessing your MBP does not look like this: http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MacLineIn-650.jpg That's the convenient way out of this. I bought my MBP specifically because it would do that. You can plug in a USB audio "soundcard" and listen with that. The UCA202 will do that as wel...

Audacity doesn't make a very good surveillance recorder. Right up front it doesn't do time stamping, so the best we can do is recommend an external timecode generator to put time on one of the stereo tracks with the show on the other. Then, of course, you'll need a reader for playback. Recently, Aud...

My mixer is also connected to an amp. That's how I'm listening to myself sing along with the tracks. Stop doing that. You should never have a live microphone and show speakers running in the same room. Headphones only. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/wynonna2.jpg I'm plugged into my laptop's USB por...

I found the sound test I did with those two computers and mixer. Note that even though I mucked up the music routing, Denise sounds like she's sitting right next to me, not 2500 miles away at the end of a Skype call. The faster the connections you have and the less work you make Skype do, the better...
