Post an example of the two. A sentence from a presenter and the same sentence from you. Do it in two mono files and use FLAC format for smaller files than WAV can do.

Every time we encounter something like this, it comes back to the label track not being "real." It's the digital equivalent of making grease pencil marks on the face of your monitor.

For example, if I open up my piano2.wav sound file and edit it, Audacity never actually pulls that file inside. It just points to it at the right time. After I finish editing, if I destroy or move the origina...
