You may have no show. Chris's Compressor does a remarkable job of evening out volume variations at the default settings. If Chris couldn't deal with the damage, then the show may be beyond help. compress dynamics plugin You got this from here, right? Chris's Compressor http://pdf23ds.net/software/dy...

If there were two cameras at the same conference and one has an audio delay, then the problem is sound sync on one camera, not between the two sound tracks. Did I get that? Are you saying one camera is at the back of the auditorium and thus has a sound sync issue? You don't need Audacity for that, y...

...which is pain if the following track has a different volume level.

I would probably start by not using Audacity 1.2. Audacity 1.2 stopped being supported, developed, patched and corrected a long time ago, and it can have problems with modern computers. Grab Audacity 1.3 from here: http://audacityteam.org/download/ If you use Lame and FFMpeg software, get those from...

Running both the recording and playback sides of a PC at the same time can be an adventure. They've gotten away from this, but Windows Sound Control Panels used to have separate record and play sides and you could select similar services in each one. For example, you could select the microphone on t...
