By far the easiest way to record both sides of the conversation on a phone call is to use a speakerphone in a quiet room. Place a production microphone next to the speakerphone device and jocky volumes and positioning until both sides, local and far, sound OK. I think my desk telephone--with speaker...

<<<it won't work.>>> Pretty much correct. The speaker sound has to take the room into account because the speaker sound also bounces from chairs and tables in the room.

Each time you press the spacebar, the playback will start over at the new point. DoubleSpace to halt playback and start at the ...

<<<i made a successful audacity project file>>> You did a lot more than that. You saved an Audacity Project which is a whole pile of files and folders. Audacity gets its editing efficiency and speed by not creating one sound file, but by assembling your show on the fly as you play the timeline and e...
