You should go into Audacity Preferences > Recording and disable "Playthrough." You can still hear all the tracks on playback, but the feedback howling should be gone. You can also use headphones... http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/wynonna2.jpg Nobody does studio recording with speakers on. Koz

You can buy blank disks so cheap they have a bad dye layer. Drop by an office supply store and by a short stack or package of Sony, TDK, Memorex or other brand disks and try that. Do not use disks labeled "Hi-Q." Also, do not let your CD burner go full steam. If you have trouble talking on...

That's what you may think you did, but I bet a trip through the AUP file says otherwise. AUP is a text file. You can open it up in Notepad or Wordpad and read it.

You can use the magnifier tools and the Label tool. Drag-select a portion of the show around where you want one edit. Control-E magnify until you can find the precise sound at the edit and press Control-B to place a label. Zoom out full (Control-F). Now find the other edit point the same way. Keep z...
