Audacity doesn't much like running over a network. It doesn't understand network delays. Also, I think Audacity is married to its GUI. Some of the other elves may have a way to force this to work. Koz

The email in your profile is correct, so I hid this one. We get a lot of spam companies and you do not want to post a real email address. They are all mp3 files. Probably not. MP3 files play perfectly in Audacity. You have a different file type. You can tell Windows to show you filename extensions a...

You may not be plain, ordinary recording your built-in microphone. If Mic-Boost didn't help and created other distortion, then you have a windows setting wrong. Do you like to record YouTube or other Music Sites from the internet? Those settings mess up live recording. http://manual.audacityteam.org...

When i record and hear myself it delays so badly. That's the other delay. That's the one we can't fix. If you listen to yourself and have an echo in your headphones, that's machine delay and we can't fix that. The overdubbing instructions have three ways to use special hardware to get around this. ...

Then drag-select the flat blue waves (silent lead-in or lead-out) but leave a little of it still attached to the show (illustration -- the light portion will remain). Press Delete.

Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Recording > [X] Overdub (but not Playthrough). the track is delay. So your voice and the instruments don't line up? You just have to crank through the instructions. There's no shortcut. The two sentence version is make an overdub recording and measure the difference b...

You violated a couple of rules there. To get the original music and your voice to line up you need to adjust Audacity Latency and that works on music Audacity is playing. So if you download the music and play it in Audacity, then you can make that work pretty well. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/m...

This is what the pop filter prevents.

Yes, recording a "tap" track (in whatever way) and analyzing that, is a beautifully simple and effective workaround, though that does not preclude improving beat detection for music. I understand. Baby steps. Another semi-real time possibility is Audacity creates a "beat track" ...
