The bouncing lights sound meters are wide range and respond to very broad changes in volume. Not so the blue waves on the timeline. If your show is very low volume, -40 or so. It may appear on the meters, but not the timeline -- even though it is actually there. You can expand the meters by grabbing...

i did succeed to make a splitt between the songs I had you until there. You import multiple songs and use the time shift tool to push each one later and later so the start and stop points match or overlap. Pretty standard way to make a party or dance mix. I don't understand what you're splitting. W...

You can get file insanity if you put punctuation marks in your filename. No dates. Computers hate slash marks in filenames. Upper and lower case letters, numbers, underscore and dash are safe. I don't use spaces, either.

I changed your posting tags to "code" so we don't have to scroll through pages and pages of reports. Next time ask if we need it before you post. They're third party plugins, right? Pull them out of your "plugins" folder before you start Audacity. Badly written plugins cause odd ...

What you have may be as good as possible. Typically we tell people you can't separate performances like that without some kind of sound damage if it's possible at all. Vocal Removal works by a very simple process of deleting anything in the exact dead left-to-right center of a high quality stereo sh...

Details. Where is the backing track and how are you playing it? We have to build your performance equipm...

Give us a push.

Chains is intended to apply one or more actions to many files. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Apply_Chain I t...

Just to be clear since this is a very fine point. The mono noise in the example will not magically sound deep, lush, dimensional and 3D, that's a special effect. It will still sound like plain, flat, hissy noise -- but it will appear in both sides of your headphones, which is how your microphone wil...

Select the mono track (click on the sample rate window) > Control-D (duplicate) > Dropdown menu > Make Stereo Track. Bang. Instant Stereo track, however you may not need that. I think Audacity will cheerfully edit a "real" mono track in a stereo show just fine. Other elves will drop in a c...
