Change the Audacity. There is no stable Audacity 1.2 for us with modern Macs. The only working Audacity left is 1.3. Intel Macs have never worked with 1.2.6, and Intel + Leopard killed off 1.2.5. This is not completely dreadful. 1.2 tools and services are laughably simple and crude compared to 1.3 w...

Don't confuse simple with bizarre.

Using the black down arrow on the left, Split Stereo Track. Convert each track to mono. Effect > Amplify > -6dB. Track > Mix and Render. Export. The Mix and Render step may be "QuickMix" in some early versions of Audacity.

You must be stopped for the tools to light up. Record Pause will not do it, and you have to have something on a timeline.

<<<can the new preamp aid me>>>

That depends on what the preamp is and how it's connected. You can't give us too much information.

<<<But a GUI? I'm out of luck, am I not?>>>

The Audacity Development Team is chronically short of time, manpower, and money. They're struggling to bring out v.1.4.0 and there is still a significant list of bug fixes and feature requests. I'd say, yes. You are out of luck.

WAV is the production format, MP3 is the delivery format. They don't cross well.

MP3 is produced in frames not continuous music like WAV or equivalent, so producing split second timing isn't possible.
