So you do have a stereo track, right? One left and one right married, but the left (top) track has the most of the work and the bottom (right) track has little significant sound?

This did come up several times recently and I think the answer is the same. You can't as a rule, force "audio cards" over 20 KHz. They all have to be able to handle 44100 sample rates and that means filters to prevent aliasing and distortion. The filters cut off at 20 KHz. Y'all are really...

One of the things we did early on in the Overdubbing tutorial is to get you to do a straight, uncomplicated recording. It's amazing, but maybe not to you, how often that fails and it usually fails because the computer isn't recording the microphone. It's recording one of the software "fake devi...

This may be a software bug as well. We have had odd, unexplained damage in Projects with no apparent pattern. Those are...

a huge audio project for literally weeks, saving as I go Can you go back one more version? You saved each step as a new Project, right? You should have maybe a hundred or more individual projects if you've been working on the show that long. I like to burn the date and time into each Project to kee...

You can record many tracks, each separate from the other by using the Overdubbing technique. For example, you record a bed or guide track and then sing, then guitar, then drums, etc. Each will appear on its own track and you can mix and match, apply effects and filters to each track until you're hap...
