Exactly. It's the generic term. The producer causes the show to exist. At one end the producer can be the announcer, recordist, editor, etc. etc. At the other, they write a check and stand back.

You may not want to. Audacity doesn't edit MP3. It converts an MP3 to its own internal format and then edits that. When it's done, it has to create a new MP3 and the compression distortion (honking, bubbling) doubles. If you make new MP3s that don't do that, they will be very large and won't fit on ...

I did what you did and mine plays two to seven, skip four through five. Attach 1. Then I expanded the gap to two seconds. The new one plays two through eight, skip four through six. Attach 2. Are you using the "C" shortcut key to play? If you don't split or shift, just create eight seconds...

That's how they got around all the delays and latencies and odd channel problems that Audacity has. The down side was the extraordinary cost of all that. You had to be pretty serio...

The blue connector should be stereo line-in like from a mixer or cassette machine. Mic-In should be pink. If you have a fancy surround soundcard then you could run into connection problems. I have one of those with five socket back there. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/soundCardFinal2.jpg Ou...
