Export as what? MP3? Koz

S'OK. Audacity is not the most straightforward because of restrictions and fees. You may not have to import RAW data. You should download and install the FFMpeg and lame software packages. Those two in combination with Audacity 1.3 (only) should let you open up anything likely to be music. http://au...

Do you have an "Input Level" graph below the Input Volume slider? Those flash left to right as the volume builds. Koz

The original guitar's musical character came from the natural stereo show with all the blue waves right-sid...

No. That's an echo and echoes are terminal. You might be able to remove all the voices with Effect > Vocal Removal. [time passes] No, it's a mono track and Vocal Removal only works on stereo tracks. We warn people to save everything as they do production. Do you have the original raw voice track and...

To answer you specifically, no I haven't, but right channel problems are very common if you wire up your sound system wrong. Koz
