Is it even possible to have both sides of the conversation sound as if we're side-by-side?

Sure, but it's harder than changing a few settings.

You have no idea how helpful that is. http://www.kozco.com/pictures/boothFinished/laptop-mic.jpg Everything you see is home made except the laptop stand -- including the microphone shock mount. http://www.kozco.com/tech/pvcShockMount/shockmount.html Do you have any special provision for placing the ...

This is the only way to do that reliably. You have to listen to your mic or mixer, not the computer.

Some USB devices are sensitive to being Stereo or Mono. Change the Audacity recording preferences to mono and see if the USB connection appears. I have a microphone that does this.

You may need to Transport > Rescan.. to get it to show up after you change the settings.

You got a recording right? You have wavy blue lines and the green sound meter jumps when there is sound? http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_playback.jpg (Your picture may not look exactly like this one.) If you have a USB microphone (you didn't say) then that could be causing problems. Audacit...

Probably not. Audacity Projects do not save UNDO and if you stepped on the original sound file with your correction, that's the end of the show. Audacity does not do forensics. We can't take trash and make it into a clear conversation like in the CSI TV show. If you did a Time Machine backup between...

Is any of your work posted where we can get to it? Do you have before and afters? The only problem I can see with any of that is that it's six months further along than most of our posters. Have you had to "clean up" any of your works by getting rid of the dog barking, metrobus starting up...

Self Recording is a dance between the sound card, software drivers and the operating system. You changed the OS, so that's where your recordings went. You join a long list of people who bought a computer with the specific idea of self recording and find that's the one thing that's been locked out. I...

Self Recording is not a guaranteed computer service. Some computers don't support it, full stop. If you can't find any of the special internal software devices like Stereo-Mix or What-U-Hear, then you'll need to go to paid software like Total Recorder or to one of the hardware solutions mentioned in...

Audacity checks for USB when it starts. Try restarting Audacity and then Edit > Preferences > Devices > and see if you have a USB Thing listed there. It's not unusual for the name of the "USB Thing" to be different from your amp. If you can't tell what's happening, unplug the Amp and resta...
