What's the show? Are you singing?

Are you performing into a microphone and which one? How is it connected and to what computer?

The machine thinks your show is "background noise" and is trying to suppress it. It's part of Windows conferencing, although they don't call it that. http://manual.audacityteam.org/help/manual/man/faq_recording.html#enhancements The Mic-In of your laptop is not only very sensitive and pron...

It's perfectly valid to put a wall-powered USB hub in line with a microphone or other USB device in order to extend its working distance. Each USB cable is now able to go full distance, effectively doubling the c...

When I work with multiple tracks, a lot of what I do is aligning using the Time Shift Tool, and cutting and pasting using the Selection Tool. That's exactly what's happening to me. When I add a new track, I'll want to shift it into position immediately. It's not helpful when the track mounts somewh...

Yes, that would be the simplest way to go, but be aware that it is painfully basic. You can't reach over and turn it up a little or make other corrections. Everything has to be done in Audacity or other audio program in post production. Audacity has no real-time controls. Almost more important, you ...

That's it!
Thanx,
