It depends on what mixer you have and what controls there are on it for each channel.

If there are "Pan" controls, then you can pan the guitar completely to the left and the voice completely to the right, and they will end up separately on the left and right tracks.

Assuming you are getting an output from the mixer, (are the columns of green and yellow LEDs lighting up when you sing / play?), there are a couple of things you need to do in the computer: 1. Power up the mixer and plug in the USB cable to the computer before starting Audacity. 2. Click Edit > Pref...

You can rename each track.
Open the dropdown box at the top of the track panel (where it says "Audio Track" or "Stereo Track") > Name... and give it any name you want.

Yes, Audacity will read the soundcard, provided your computer's sound system recognises it. You will need to do the following: Plug in the sound card before you start Audacity. Go to Audacity Preferences (in Version 1.2, Edit > Preferences > Audio I/O. In version 1.3 Edit > Preferences > Devices) an...

There should be nothing in the new version of Audacity which would cause that kind of difference in quality. I would suggest looking in your sound card settings in Windows Control Panel > Sounds and Audio. There may be effects, such as "surround sound" or similar, that are activated in Vista but wer...
