Audacity saves Projects which are multiple production files that make up your show. To get an actual sound file, you need to Export one. File > Export As WAV.

Say that again? Barbara is singing a song and you want to change a word or phrase within that song? I'm going with no. There is no Barbara filter that can make you sound like her, and it's difficult to impossible to remove her voice from the recording. You stepped into two different frequently reque...

And nowhere in all that did we establish the goal. What's the goal? And don't say "find the RMS value." You didn't wake up this morning with a burning desire to listen to an RMS value. If your goal is to gracefully even out volume variations and increase the loudness of a show, you can't b...

<<<I would agree with you accept that there is nearly 1-2 seconds of delay right now.>>> Good to know. That means the software is trying to manage all the sound services -- badly.

We need to stop throwing around the term "Latency" as if it were a single item. The delay between the playback track and the recorded track is settable with the 'latency' control within Audacity and there have been postings on how to reduce that error to smallest possible. That's the abili...

<<<once I went to a bigger power supply it went away>>> Did you get a new sound card when you upgraded? It's remotely possible the power supply was just causing your sound problems, but not likely. By the time your power supply was bad enough to cause sound problems, it would almost certainly have c...

To answer your specific question, yes you can daisy chain microphone amplifiers, but don't bet the farm on good results. the second one will amplify all the noise of the first one. I would expect a very hissy performance. No, there's something basic wrong with your setup. You never did say how your ...
