Dolby AC3 has sound services way over and above "put this voice over there." Dial Norm is the setting that lets you produce thunder, gunshots and jets taking off in their real-world loudness. People producing AC3 for the first time sometimes get burned with this when the encoder they use s...

If you plug a mono plug into a stereo Line-In, only the tip of the connector and the protective sleeve will connect which appears as Left-Only in Audacity.

This will also give you a cadre of experienced users to coach others if you decide to go this route. And there's alway...
