They're significantly off after a few minutes? If you play them one at a time, who's off? You can't just go by the timeline. You have to start one playing and come back in an hour. Is it ahead or behind? Play the other one. You could have the 48000/44100 problem. Video sampling runs at 48000 and sou...

The clip really doesn't tell us anything because we don't know what normal is. Record a simple voice track. Use a very high quality MP3 rather than WAV. I don't think the super quality of the WAV is going to tell us anything, whereas a longer, slightly lesser quality track might be useful.

You did restart the Mac, right? From the "chong" on up. Do you like to record internet audio? It sounds like you may be recording multiple sound feeds at the same time. Apple (upper left) > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input. What do you have selected there? Past that I got noth...

You should be recording the floor feed and listening to the DJ mix. I don't know how to do that in Serato -- whether it has two separate feeds like that or not. It' s possible you may need the Serato upgrade to get that. What did Serato say?

I don't know anybody other than network television people that use two microphones for an interview, and those are sit-down events, not free-wheeling in a dog shelter. We'll see.

In order to mute the dogs, you have to split them from the performance. If you muted the dogs in the mixed show, everything during the bark would go. Of course, if that's what you want, you can carefully drag-select one of the barks (they shouldn't be hard to find in the blue waves) and silence it w...

However, I am having trouble knowing where to stand singing. So you got all the rest of the overdubbing setup to work? Since nobody is expecting Warner Brothers Records to call, stand pretty much in front of the microphone. I'm guessing you don't have to worry about room echoes and other sound prob...

Audacity cannot separate the performers in a recording.

OK. I'm building this in my head. You play a web radio performance to your speakers and then you make Audacity record from the web cam and that's your show. You have to be very quiet so the room noise doesn't get into the capture, right? There are other ways to do that, but if your computer is fast ...

In my case turning the default sample rate down to 22050 solved the problem. Our traditional crackling problems are caused by the computer not going fast enough for live audio. Pieces get dropped during the course of the playback. The D/A converter hits a dead spot in the stream and goes briefly nu...
