You need to fill in the holes. How did you shoot it? What's it supposed to be? If it's far enough off, we can't tell what the original show was. Are you trying to record a training video? Koz

The Disk Image (DMG) needs to be installed before you can really use Audacity. Pull the DMG back onto the desktop and double click on it. It will explode into the program folder and a comment file. Drag the program folder into /Applications and enjoy.

No. Yes. It continues to be the case that we can't separate a mixed performance into solos. There's the remotest of possibilities if the show was in stereo and you were spread out left to right, but if the show is really two-track mono, that was the last chance. It's actually worse in MP3 because MP...

Audacity doesn't have Markers, but it does have Labels. You can set labels in a show and put text inside the label to remind you of what you intended. Exporting a sound file will not retain the labels, but Saving the show as an Audacity Project will. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/label_tracks...

It catches everything, but you need to leave your speaker volume up for it to work. There are other variations and if your system is getting s...

Do you still have the installer files for 2.0.0? Upgrading when everything is working to your satisfaction may not be the best idea. There were some very serious changes between those two versions.

I'm sure that's not the only way to do it, but that method does work. In order to apply effects and filters to one side without the other, it is required that you have the tracks split. It's the File Export process that can get a little Out There. Are you sure your monitoring system is Stereo? That ...

What's the possibility of making the Disk Image so Audacity will not run without installing? Koz

As I get this. WASAPI is designed to let you record sound already playing on the computer -- like YouTube or an on-line sound show. The data it gets is the data that some other process created. If you have a simple two-channel hardware sound source, and all you want to do is record, you probably don...
