One method is to create two tracks one clean and the other just below with 100% of the effect. Then use the Envelope Tool (two white arrows and bent blue line) or any of the Fade tools to gently transition between the two tracks. You actually have much greater control that way than trying to apply a...

You need to write down the total length of the show and note if it changes. If you can't hear the difference and the show gets shorter, you win. You can change one of the little readouts at the bottom of the work surface to tell you total length. Click in the panel to the left of the blue waves and ...

<<<i see stereo input signal>>> How do you see stereo? What tells you that you have a stereo show? If you have a USB microphone (you didn't say) then the sound from them is almost always mono no matter how you have Audacity set. Some computers allow you to force that single sound onto both left and ...

Time for the Venn Diagram. Take the plugins or three people who are having problems and see which plugins are common. I bet there are going to be a small subset of evil plugins that are causing all the problems. Although why only Audacity is anyone's guess. There could also be "moon phase"...

I must not have done it right. I pulled down three different VST plugins -- Elephant.vst, Span.vst, and TAL-vocoder.vst -- and made 32 copies of each.

And effects, cleanup, and filtering. Yes, it does that just fine.

I don't think there is an actual tutorial on this, but a common mistake is to record Stereo-Mix or Mix-Out instead of your microphone or sound mixer. This is the setting you need to capture internet audio or shows, but it's exactly the wrong setting for live performances into a microphone. Go into W...

Open the file in QuickTime Player and Command-I to get the INFO panel. What does that say, what kind of file? You should not be in Audacity 1.2. 1.2 is not supported on modern Macs. Get Audacity 1.3.12 from here... http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_mac If Garage Band is expecting to send the mus...
