The caution is not getting Noise Reduction to work at all. It can be made to work very well...on steady noises. The trouble comes when you have a moving noise. I'm guessing Noise Reduction won't remove the Start and Stop of the noise. Those are the two points where the actual sound of the air handle...

R and Shift-R both still work. You can choose which is the default with a preference setting. Old Time Users will want their Shift-R back, but New Users will need plain R to add work to an existing track (since that's what most people seem to want).

Home style all-in-one microphones are designed to run low volume. Too high volume or overload and clipping sounds terrible and immediately kills the show. Quiet voices can most times be rescued in post production and most users think it's their fault. Only one of those makes you send the microphone ...

Meteor Got it. The Meteor has a cardioid (kidney-shaped) pattern and you can't change it. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/CardioidPattern.png You should be speaking into the company name. It's a side-fire microphone, not an end-fire like the microphone in my illustration. The microphone shou...

Audacity opens up its AUP Project Manager file to find out what to do with all those little AU files in the _DATA folder. This is a project. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg You got lucky on the first one. If the two aren't perfectly matched, it usually goes up in flame...

They won't plug into a mixer or PA system. Actually, some will. The Yeti Pro (different from the "Professional Studio Yeti") has both an analog XLR and a USB connection the bottom. The Yeti Pro is also missing the "Yeti Curse" noise bug. You generally know you have a Yeti Pro be...
