Audacity Beta allows a chain of effects to be created and run as a batch process. Click File > Edit Chains... to create the chain. Click File > Apply Chain... to apply the chain to the current project, or to audio files. Chains can be applied to a selected track or region in the project, just as you...

You can change your other songs to 16-bit. Here's a piece from earlier about conversions. http://f...

The microphone mounts itself as a sound device and you may need to select it in the Windows control panels. After that, go into Audacity Preferences and select the same thing for Recording, plus change to 44100, 16-bit, Mono. That's important because it you use Stereo, Audacity will not recognize th...
