No, that's when you record six tracks at once. You're overdubbing. The process for that is to put the MP3 music into audacity first and then use that as a playback guide track to record everything else on additional tracks. The process for that is different in Windows than it is on Macs, so we need ...

Do you record from the internet? That complicates things. Without uninstalling Audacity, go into Windows Control Panels and make sure the system thinks it's playing to the speakers and not anything else. Do you have Skype?

If you didn't get a reduction to 25% (-12dB), then something is broken. That's consistent with other symptoms -- particularly that business with the volu...

it's more like converting TV into a book. That's good. Can I use that? Why did you want to convert music into MIDI? MIDI isn't a sound format but it sometimes appears like that because you click on it and it plays. What it's really doing is playing the piano built into your computer. Play the file ...

It's possible to configure Windows so all the sound systems seem to work, but Audacity doesn't get any music. Windows...
