Re: How to have a fading muffled effect?

AKA high cut filter, low pass filter. It passes the low frequencies and cuts the high frequencies, contributing to the muffled echo. It can be done in Channel EQ inventory. The classic slope is 24dB/Oct. You can also turn the Q on the cut-off frequency for a resonant boost that sounds so good. Auto...

Re: What effects did I use in previous recording

I am recording my song in parts, I am not doing every thing in one day. The usual way to do this avoids the problem completely - do all of the recording before you begin processing. Note that even doing it that way, you have to take great care to use exactly the same recording set up each time - ju...

Re: Recording vocals over track

OK, that's fine. What audio device is it?

Reading the original post again, I think I was barking up the wrong tree.

As jademan wrote, to record a second track, you need to hold down the Shift key when you click the Record button (or "Shift + R").

Re: right channel overlays left channel

A simple test to establish if the problem is in Audacity or in Windows, is to make a test recording using Microsoft "Voice Recorder" (see: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-record-sound-using-voice-recorder-app-windows-10) Dell support are not likely to be very helpful if you tell them yo...

Well I still got about 17 .au files with each of them weighing about one MB
That works out as about 1minute 40 seconds for a mono track, or about 50 seconds for a stereo track. How long was the project?

Re: Unable to launch audacity on kubuntu

I've just tested the Ubuntu repository version of Audacity 2.4.2 on Xubuntu 20.10 (my test machine is too slow to run Kubuntu, and I can't read Chinese, so that's the closest I can do). It's not perfect (the sbsms library is missing, so no "high quality time stretch"), but it does launch a...

Have no idea what I did
That's a shame, but at least you're back in business.
If you ever figure out what the problem / solution was, please do come back and let us know - it could be very helpful for others.

Re: Audacity does not recognize Behringer UMC 404HD interface

Does Audacity see your computer's internal sound card if the Behringer is not connected? (You may need to reboot the computer)

Re: Audacity does not recognize Behringer UMC 404HD interface

"WDM" is "Windows Driver Model". Those are the drivers used by "MME" (Multimedia Extensions) and "DirectSound".
I'm surprised that it's not picking up your computer's internal sound card either - I assume your computer has one (?)
