The 1/4" inputs of this mixer are line-level, not microphone level. There is only one Microphone input per section on this mixer and it takes XLR .

That should cure your noise problem.

Probably not. You fall into one of the Four Horsemen. #4. You can't remove a quiet background voice. Koz -- The Four Horsemen of Audio Recording (reliable, time-tested ways to kill your show) -- 1.

Without raining on this too much, has this ever worked? Unless the software "knows about" voice over internet, you're only going to get one side of the conversation, not both. How did you record the interview? What you probably have is your own very loud and clear voice plus the tiny leaka...

Noise Removal works by inspecting your "profile" sample and carefully generating sharp filters to remove the stuff in the profile from the show. White noise has profile in all frequencies. So it would be accurate to say that Noise Removal is trying to remove everything audible from the sho...

This is me watching. As with most problems like this that deal with Real World Problems, you have to determine when to apply the correction. While it's not impossible for an actual show to go to "all zero bits" for a duration, it's only unlikely. Similarly, if the samples are not zero, but...

By the way, when I did use the playthrough, I had no issue with latency... You're the one. Most of us have just enough Playthrough Latency that you can't sing or play to the original tracks. Oh, and you have feedback the way you're doing it. Anyway, you need two mixers -- or two independent mixing ...

Can I guess you can't get the voice files out of the iPhone? We can't either. It may take specialized software to do that. Audacity only works on sound or entertainment files you already have.

Thanks for the extra information. Do you like to record internet audio with soundflower or other software? I'm assuming you're using the Overdubbing feature and you're playing an instrument against a rhythm or other existing track. I think I can help with the last one. Audacity will play anything vi...
