Are you dead sure Audacity is recording all four tracks? It's not unusual for multi-channel mixers and other devices to arrive in Audacity as collections of stereo tracks. So you can record 3-4 or 1-2, but you never get all four at once. Roll through all these variations before you try to record a s...

I must be missing something obvious! You bought a stereo mixer with tricks. A real multi-channel mixer would have four large signal level meters on the front rather than just two.

1-track Zoom H2 in 128kb mp3 mode. One super easy way to make your recordings sound better: Stop using MP3. You can't edit an MP3 and end up with the same quality value you started with. One edit, filter or correction and that's the end of the 128 quality. By the third edit you will start to hear t...

I have a huge problem on my hands as a voice actor.
