I have the ART preamp and yes it is USB and it has headphones output for monitoring. Can you listen to the computer track playback mixed with the live performance? It's turning out that's critically important for easy overdubbing success. You know when we get posters complaining that the computer i...

No. The sole exception might be Effect > Vocal Remover which deletes anything in the exact left-right center of a good quality stereo show. The original stereo show turns mono when you get done. Since the singer is usually in the middle, the singer gets deleted. Many times drums and bass go, too, si...

Exactly correct. I hadn't thought about that. I thought you were going to try and analyze that French swallowing your "R" sounds by looking at the waveform, for example. I want to watch you try that. I do think after getting the initial swing and rhythm of the language down, possibly not t...

That can go a very long way to telling you what's going on. -- Hidden File Extensions -- Start > My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View > [ ] Hide Extensions for Known File Types (deselect) -- Apply (to this folder) or Apply to All Folders -- O...

The raw electric guitar signal is pretty powerful. This is a clip of a guitarist playing an electric jammed straight into the Line-In of my Mac. No amps, no pedals, no effects. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/clips/millerGuitar2.wav You do need to know that you don't get the sound of the cabinet ...

When I open it the file is in "mono" and not stereo. When you open it how and in what? Yes, it was recorded in stereo and when the file is played, it plays in stereo mode. Played how and in what? Detail is good. We can't see what you're doing. There is a setting in Audacity called "M...

You may not need to do that. Effect > Normalize is the Amplify tool except that it affects each side individually.
