Audacity doesn't do anything in real time except Record, Play and Timer. So the best we could do is record the effort and try to pair it up with the appropriate match and then play the match -- minutes later. I'm not sure the analysis software is up to this, either. One of our standing lines is Auda...

I'm not after studio quality sound, but I want it to sound like it was recorded in a studio. Only one poster so far has got aw...
