Is it THAT difficult to catch up with new operating systems? I'm certainly no expert, but if everyone else manages to do it.... No, they don't. You get programs for Windows and Programs for Macs and programs for linux. Very few programs operate cross platform on all three and the ones that do are e...

Newer Windows default to environment suppression for conferencing and Skype calls. It destroys music.

And remember directional microphones record sound from behind you. We tried the deconvolution systems and software and never got it better than an experimental curiosity. The problem is the effect is not perfectly reversible. The software generates a limited number of echoes and reverb and does a ve...

I have played with the input volume, but it doesn't help. Can you make it worse? Sometimes beginning able to change it either direction is valuable. USB microphones have to come with very conservative, low loudness settings because low volume is correctable but high volume is not. Once you overload...

The monitor clearly shows that the mic is receiving input What does that mean? Neither the cable nor the microphone has a monitor. Do you have a "USB Audio Device" selected in Audacity Preferences > Devices > Input? The interface is a little bit of an odd duck because of its settings. Cha...

The interstitials, yes. You could cheat and not tell anybody. At the end of each song, fade out just slightly early, leave some forced blank time or make up something that would logically be there and then fade in the next song a little late. Maybe a little non-noisy audience from a different show. ...

My cretaceous period license for Sound Soap had a hum filter. It automatically selected all the cardinal frequencies (60, 120, 180, etc in the US) and you could put it on as needed completely independently of the show, sampling frequencies or profiles) I assume they were extremely sharp notches unli...

OK. It's open-shield microphone buzz. By my count there's 10 to 15 significant individual buzzy tones in there (60, 120, 180, etc. etc) and you have to get rid of all of them -- without using the Noise Reduction tool. Noise Reduction is the obvious choice, but there's no place in the performance whe...

We'll see after it comes down. If it's hum, it's a piece of cake. If it's buzz, you have a damaged recording.

It's never hum.
