Zoom in to each gap with drag-select > Control-E. Drag select the silent portion and delete. Repeat. You can use Analyze > Silence Finder available in Audacity 1.3.12. Silence Finder doesn't work as well as you would think because most people's silence is just a low point in the show -- not really s...

Just a note. What are your Audacity preferences set to: 44100, 16-bit, Stereo?

You don't want to record from the sound card. Everything goes through the sound card. You want to record from your computer playback or the internet. Both of those have a sound pathway that doesn't lend itself to sound capture. You would have trouble recording from Skype for the same reasons. Not al...

That's a good idea. Mine is a little more brutal. I have a external Snow Leopard boot drive -- kept up to date -- and I install the program exactly like a user would. I clean out the program, plugins, and Library preference listings after each install. Only one Audacity is ever installed on this &qu...

All the tracks will play at once unless you prevent them. You can use the balance adjusters to the left of the track ...

<<< I don't have a current sound card that takes rca jacks >>> But it may not be that hard to add one. Read about the UCA-202 we reviewed here... http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=9477 Look up TMPGEnc software. They might be able to convert between AVI and other formats. I think...

The music on Music CDs is pseudo-wav format. 44100, 16-bit, Stereo. So if you perform and capture your show and export it as MP3 and then make a Music CD inside iTunes, you have created a high quality show and converted the music to a distorted, lossy format (MP3) and then back -- except the distort...
