The Snowball ICE Microphone is a mono microphone.
If you record with "number of channels" set to "1 (mono)" in the Device Toolbar, then the recording will play out of both left and right speakers.

I can open the file in Audacity using Import Raw Data, but I see the same problem with 'normal' import (without FFmpeg) - but then again, it's not really a 'normal' WAV file. Where did the file come from?

Thanks very much for the detailed feedback. The second was the track from Haydn Symphony, movement 2, which I love, and has perhaps the most extreme dynamic range I know of in music. This was the only case in which the results were a bit different here, but just a tiny bit too. Your plug-in clipped ...

"The usual 2" referred to what I normally see when I import a file to audacity, two horizontally stacked audio files. Is that one end of the Skype call on the left and the other end on the right, or is it both ends of the conversation in both channels? If you listen on headphones, do you ...

Split from: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=86772#p285719 ...it occurs to me that it might be beneficial for Audacity to provide an option to record 2 mono channels. That would be ideal for those users that wish to record two mono sources at the same time (such as guitar in on...

I'm running 2.1.0, and I don't see "Limiter" as an effect option The "Limiter" effect is new in Audacity 2.1.1 (get it here: http://web.audacityteam.org/download/) I wouldn't recommend the old "Hard Limiter" or this type of job as that is a "soft clipping" ty...
