Voluntary services don't do deadlines well. You can have billions of things that cause that. Battery operated microphones do that when the battery gets soft. If the preamp on your mixer is set too high , it will clip and you can't fix it later. So describe your setup paying attention to part numbers...

Where are you stuck? Did you download and install it OK? You selected your stereo show with a singer in the exact center and applied the filter, right? You're left with a mono show with no singer and anything else in the middle will be gone, too, like frequently drums. If you do any of those things ...

You have no show unless there's a lot more files are on that disk somewhere. He saved the conductor but not the orchestra.

Audio cards with Line-In have two inputs. Left and Right. If you have an external mixer and want to produce from two live microphones, this isn't a terrible way to go. Put one actor on one side and the other on the other. Manage later as you wish in Audacity. I shoot a weekly live meeting like this....
