If you load the show with the crossfade and then Tracks > Mix And Render, do you get your bad sound without the export?

Then finally I export the whole thing to a wav file. Really? Not another MP3 file? Metalic, bubbling, honking is the result of mp3-ing another MP3. I guess you could get that if you picked a really bad WAV format, but if you stuck to 44100, 16-bit, Stereo (music CD format) then the new show should ...

Use your existing video editor to Export the sound track. Audacity will recognize many different sound formats if you install the FFMpeg software. http://audacityteam.org/download/ Edit in 48000, 16-bit, stereo. That's the video standard. When you're done, Export as Microsoft WAV and that file shoul...

You installed Audacity and now neither the Audacity Preferences nor the Device Dropdowns have your USB microphone? Can Windows see it?

Start > Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices.

The first one was done with the camcorder in the club and isn't particularly awful. Better to get the club sound system mix, but that one works as it is. That one could have benefited from just being closer. Less room ambiance and listening at the end of a tunnel. Maybe a shotgun. Maybe just scooch ...

Save the show Project and open it up again. Audacity Projects do not save UNDO. You could also Export a high quality WAV file under a different name and open that instead of your current show.

Use the Project.

Rewind speed could be in the preferences. That's called scrubbing and it's a very frequently requested feature. The closest we can come is drag select a portion of the performance and then Spacebar Play will always start from the beginning of the selection. There's also Transport > Loop Play with w...

You said you had a ceramic cartridge? Did I get that. Are you accurate? Ceramic cartridges didn't need an RIAA preamplifier. They would approximate the correction by themselves. However, they are the bottom of the good sound quality and fidelity pile. That's what came on kiddie phonographs which had...
