When you generate a tone, the track remains selected and if you generate a different tone, it will overlay. So generate one tone and then click below the first tone to deselect it. Then a generated second tone will occupy a new track. You can select the top track by clicking just right of the up arr...

One other point. The tools start falling apart if your original is compressed or has processing artifacts—such as an MP3. MP3's job is to produce small file sizes by damaging the original in ways difficult to hear. That damage hangs on like a headcold messing up post production and master file deliv...

I have tried to use noise reduction Noise Reduction seems to be a get-out-of-jail card, but it only works on sounds that don't change over time. It's perfect, for example, if you have some microphone hiss in the whole show. You select some "clean" hiss as the Profile, and Noise Reduction ...

Everybody can play MP3s, but making a new one is, or was until very recently, a paid license. Because Audacity is free, we can't "hide" the licensing fees in the purchase price. Lame is a work-alike software package that you can add to Audacity to allow Exporting to MP3 without running int...

I wanted to find that podcast because Chase is a Celebrity Unicorn. Chase and Ben are half-way across the country from each other and they're connecting by Skype. Chase just plugged it all up and started cranking out podcasts. http://reellife.podomatic.com/entry/2013-07-04T08_57_52-07_00 I know you ...
