You can import the file and it should appear as a separate track underneath your show. Use the Time Shift Tool (sideways black arrows) to shove it to the right until it appears at the end of your existing show. Audacity will play both tracks and export both as one show unless you stop it.

You never said the word "Overdubbing" in that post. Are you? The other reason you see the question marks over my head is the technical setup doesn't make sense. Are you singing? Playing an electronic instrument? What is the performance goal? Any time you involve the analog system, speakers...

ACX is expecting the Room Tone at the beginning and end to match and the background noise not to wander during the performance. That's one reason our AudioBook Mastering, if that's the one you used, doesn't have a compressor in it. Compressors create problems. Screen Shot 2019-03-27 at 20.51.42.png ...

There's the Envelope Tool (two vertical black arrows and bent line). That lets you draw volume corrections rig...

I edited your post to remove the odd quote marks. Also the Declicker removes the mouth click noises better than the DeEsser So DeClicker it is, or both in this case. I’m literally measuring a “Shaka” (Shakra) away from the actual microphone Chakra is for balancing your spiritual energy, Shaka is a H...

After a valuable recording, your first order of business is to File > Export a WAV (Microsoft) sound file. That's a standard, perfect-quality sound file which will open anywhere and makes a good performance backup. Use standard characters in the name. Upper Case, Lower Case, Numbers, -Dash- and _Und...

The little 6-second sound files are randomly named to solve a system problem. The file times and dates are in the right order, however, and there is a desperation method to recover a raw recording.
