The title of this tool is "Center Pan Removal if you can get it to work at all and probably not." The problem with this piece is not that Vocal Removal didn't work. It actually works remarkably well, but the orchestra is mostly mono during the first half of the performance (up to 1:15) and...

At first blush you might assume the "Noise Removal" tool would be indicated, but no. Noise removal is only useful for noises that are completely stable and unchanging over the course of the performance like microphone hum or gentle air conditioning noises. An airplane pitch and volume chan...

Error Check and Defragment your hard drive. Audacity will not work into a badly fragmented drive and any drive o...

Normalize is available in Chains. Normalize affects Left and Right individually. Amplify affects Left and Right together.

Whatever Batch or Chain commands you've been able to find is it. It's not a process of sweeping a bunch of existing tools into the Chain container and go home. Each tool has to be carefully written to work within Chains and not break anything else. And yes, even though this is posted in the Audacity...

Is it big USB to little/mini USB, or USB-A to USB-B? My Blue Snowball is a "B" to my computer's "A"
