I would be very surprised if you could do that -- although I guess it's possible. Once the sound becomes a digital bitstream, it's much harder to change volume than it would be adjusting the analog portion of Mic-In or Stereo Line-In within the sound card. All that and USB microphones tend to be low...

That's computer or sound channel latency. You don't cure it other than use expensive or difficult software that has ASIO sound drivers or other software like that. It's one of the things that prevents normal computers from becoming Digital Audio Workstations. If you're goal is overdubbing or multi-t...

If you like to record internet audio like YouTube or other services, that's the setting that's getting in the way. Recording Music Playing on the Computer runs the record and play parts of the computer at the same time and that's the exact thing you don't want while you're overdubbing. On the Audaci...

Single microphones generally record as a single mono audio track. You can force the system to create a "stereo" or dual channel show by duplicating the single track so you have two independent versions of the same voice and then "marrying" them into a stereo show. I tend to like ...

This is what "normal" levels should look like. this is a playback picture, but you should get similar levels on record. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_playback.jpg The levels to the left of the blue waves are not dB unless you changed it. They're in percent. 1 being 100%. Do you ...

If one voice is on the left and one on the right, then we can easily split them that way. If both voices are in a single, mixed track, that's the end. You can't split voices out of a mixed track whether they're speaking or singing.

The problem seems to be with the handling of existing wav files. The problem may be they're not WAV files. Do you have Windows set to show you file extensions? -- Hidden File Extensions -- Start > My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View > [ ] Hide Extensions for Known File Types (deselect) -- A...

Music CDs do not carry titles. If you put a store-bought CD in your car, the tracks will show Track-1, Track-2, etc. If you play the CD in your computer, the computer will go on-line and figure out the titles from various on-line databases and the composition of the music. Macs use GraceNote®. Occas...

I see the edits are individual files in .au format Not quite. The .au files do not necessarily follow the edits, they're not a formal sound format, they alternate left and right, and the first two are pictures. You should not be inside the _data folder. One false step and the show turns to trash. T...

The only clean way to do this is with the Vocal Removal tool, or any of the other techniques that work the same way. When you're listening to the show, it cancels anything common to both tracks. "Center" when you're listening on headphones. You should be in Audacity 2 for this. Earlier too...
