Import both the show and the music as separate tracks, one above the other. Select the music track and Effect > Amplify: -6dB (top number) > OK. Still selecting the music track > Effect > Invert > OK. The music track is now set to partially cancel the music in the show. Using the Time Shift Tool (tw...

You can consider that the recording is going too fast, or you can consider what's probably really happening which is the recording was happening too slow. The computer or some part of the recording system isn't working fast enough to capture all the audio data. I'd be surprised if the show was off i...

Mic-In on a laptop is designed to do this: http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/computerAnalogMicrophone.jpg Even if you turn it down, the sound may s...

Please note that the blue waves and the bouncing sound meters use different measurements. The meters use dB which more or less reflects how your ear works. The blue waves use percent 1=100%. They're measuring the same thing differently. All the things you can hear in your production don't fit on the...

If all you did was stop and start the camera, then yes, chances are good that all the clips may take the same settings. The Big Kids listen to a sample of the performance recording before everybody goes home. If possible, listen to a snippet just before the take. You should be listening to the camer...
