You also understand that this is going to reduce everything. It's not going to reduce the vocals and leave the orchestra alone.

Nothing easy. OK, so here's the insanely complicated way. FM radio broadcasts two channels of audio, but they're not Left and Right. They're L+R and L-R. They're called the Mono and the Separation Signal. They put L-R in the FM radio channel where old Mono FM radios can't see it. They just see the r...

No. We're looking for another way. When you split the tracks, they stay on Left and Right. They don't mix. If you convert to mono, they do mix and all the separation goes away. There is an insanely complicated way to do it with L+R and L-R channels (like stereo FM does), but I'm looking for another ...

Record stereo. Split and export the sides you want. No cable swapping.

It could be very important. Which Behringer?

<<<(I tried using the line-in but I couldn't even hear myself.)>>> So right away you're in trouble. The job of the microphone amplifier is to boost the tiny sound level sound coming out of the microphone to the much higher line level so it will fit in the Line-In of your sound card. That is precisel...

<<<I'm using an intel MacBook, OSX 10.5.3.>>>

If you're on an Intel machine, you should have been using Audacity 1.2.5 not 1.2.6.

So it would be really good to go back and make sure you got the right 1.3.

<<<But I had to go back to my old computer to do it.>>> Which brings us back to: It's almost impossible to move Audacity Projects. Yes the blue waveforms do come from the _DATA folder. It's the first two (or more) AU files. Start a really simple project, save it, and then go in and delete the first ...
