<<<I uninstalled, re-downloaded, and reinstalled the old version of Audacity. This did nothing.>>> Did the new Audacity ask you "English?" when you started it? If it didn't, then you didn't really reinstall Audacity. But that's not what your problem is. If the computer inexplicably slows d...

<<<I have done this and there seems to be no difference.>>> That's because what you think you need and what you actually need are different. Very few people taking videos at rock concerts walk away with good or even marginal sound tracks. The bass sound at a rock concert can be measured with earthqu...
