Nope. Those sliders are magic and local to each track.

No really it's 'orrible. +1 And to be clear, there's more than one problem with the recording. Trebor should not need to "add harmonics" to the show. Just running a high quality microphone and sound system under your coat should be a simple equalization problem, done, go home. You have a ...

Digital audio is measured using "0 dB" where the digital system gets so loud it "runs out of numbers" as a reference. The system goes negative from there. The blue waves in Audacity are misleading because they're in percent (convenient to think about) not in dB values (the way yo...

If your USB device keeps coming and going, then you may have a bad USB cable or the tape machine itself could be bad. That's not normal. Please understand that if you turn the unit off or do anything else to interrupt its operation, you need to restart Audacity again or Transport > Rescan Audio Devi...

You don't need any USB management to record a tape machine on a MacBook Pro.

The best you can do with two USB microphones is Aggregate Device which jams them together into one. This works best with two identical microphones. This is easy in Macs and Linux, but the jury's out on Windows. USB microphones are aggressively non-expandable. They're one trick ponys. You can use one...

Just because we recently answered a similar question, are you recording "Stereo Mix" or "Mix-Out" or something like that? If you're not, then you're really recording the speakers with the built-in microphone and you will never get the balance right. There are software solutions t...

If there are no specific videos that cause complaints, point us to one of them at random. It would be easier than trying to upload a clip. We will play student. It is a little scary that you think there are that many things wrong with the performances. Many of them are completely fixable in Audacity...

We're usually pretty pleased when we can get one song out the door. Koz
