I decided to make it easier and switch to a mono recording. I don't know that's a good idea. Some systems when run in mono make it twice as likely to create peak distortion. Go back to stereo and answer the questions in the above post. What actually happens when you speak or scratch each microphone...

are there other noise gates that work with Audacity, and if so, anyone recommend any?

I don't know of any but somebody else may post.

What do we need our noise gate for? What's the show?

If you're at a foreign machine, make sure nobody turned filename extensions off. Desktop > Finder > Preferences > Advanced > Show all filenames. Then make sure you really got a Nyquist file and not the TXT version of the Nyquist file. You may be in the wrong Library. Go (upper toolbar) > Go To Folde...

We'd be doing what you're doing. Google your brains out.

Or did I miss the graphic information? Describe the recording. As a first pass, shut down your machine and disconnect the...

Your mixer is supposed to work as a 4-channel interface It's not shocking that some interfaces record as stereo but don't use the first two microphones in the interface. So there is that. I would have been reducing everything to simple stereo and do tests that way. You already know from the lights ...

the AC turns on and off every ten or fifteen minutes. Any chance of recording in a room without that problem? We can try to solve it all in post production tricks, but I don't think it's ever going to sound completely transparent. Depending on the sound, we may be able to use specialized hum remove...

Post a sample of your voice at normal level with the noise in the background. Do it roughly to this format. Do Not Process anything and yes, it needs to be in WAV format. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/TestClip/Record_A_Clip.html Post the address of the instructions that said to use the whole pe...
