I suspect what the plugin is doing is managing the show as R+L and R-L like stereo FM does instead of Left and Right. You can reduce the separation of the show just by fading the L-R (the stereo signal) to zero or get variable separations by stopping at any value. You can go above normal, too. If yo...

There is a slider in the FLAC control panel during export. Better/Fastest. Since FLAC doesn't have quality adjustments. What's the slider doing?

What did the filter say it needed? Some converters can get the data direct from the disk and some need you to rip the movie. I don't remember how that one works. Does it need the MPEG2 transport stream (TS) as a file?

I don't know of any "separation" tools, but I can think of an insanely painful way to do it in Audacity 1.3. Duplicate the existing stereo show so you have two copies in the edit window. Pick the bottom copy and Tracks > Stereo Track To mono. This is where it gets sloppy. I think if you Ef...

Here's some postings of tests I did with an AKG C414 XLII plugged into a Peavey PV6 Mixer and on to a MacBook Pro Line-In. Everything was set to perform a good, natural sound capture. The first test is rattling a Wall Street Journal in front of the microphone and then stop. It's cut because this tes...

Is it an actual capture? If you move the spectrum, does the background move with you, or are you looking at a transparent spectrum? Do you do gaming on this machine? Gaming video cards have a layering technology whose name I forget. It helps with speed on shoot-em-ups. You can step on one of these l...

Right. That gives you the show's stereo PCM sound tracks, not the Dolby AC3, if it's a surround movie.

Windows laptops try to manage your microphone as if you were doing a Skype conference. It will auto level set and try to do room echo cancellation. Most times you can turn that off in the sound control panels -- if you can find it. You can make that much worse if you're trying to listen to computer ...

Audacity always records in real time. It will not apply effects in real time and many times the computer will not let you hear what's going on in real time (computer delays), but the music is always going down on the hard drive as the performance is happening. All this is assuming you're are singing...
