You can't easily paste them together because they go Left-Right-Left-Right. If you were in Audacity 1.3, they're not in numeric order.

Audacity to normalize the whole narration. Messy choice of words, because "Normalize" is an Audacity tool with very roughly similar properties. Chris is a dynamic loudness processor, similar to the ones at radio stations. The elves once generated Chris's settings to almost exactly simulat...

I have to do it again. I was under the gun and didn't have a lot of time to stop and figure out why it didn't act like I was expecting it to. I was recording a stereo off-air signal. I'm perfectly clear why it doesn't work on a mono track, but just to throw philosophic mud in the game, why is it gra...
