<<<having to hit stop or pause so Audacity can 'pick up' the new loop start and/or stop markers makes working with loops in real-time very painful>>>

In Vegas you'd have a 25% chance of hitting it. The Audacity has to be right and the external software has to be right at the same time. People forget that you can have the wrong Audacity. So it's 0/0, 0/1, 1/0, or 1/1. 25% chance. Actually, chances are slightly less, because either of them can be b...

Launching Audacity cold and clicking inside the red record meters causes them to go into monitor mode. They will bounce to the music.

The envelope tool is the user friendly tool. Audacity doesn't do anything in real time, so the only other option is to pre-cut the music beds into proper fades at the appropriate times using cold script readings and a stop watch, then put each music cut and segment onto its own track versus the voic...

Have you noticed that this entire thread is in the wrong forum? We should be in Recording Techniques.

You need to do that again and this time put the round nylon pop filter between you and the microphone. Then back up another foot. The track is full of the ultra presence and odd dynamics that only happen when an announcer is trying to talk to you in real life three inches away from your ear. There a...
