I also do have my settings in Audacity turned all the way up, with the gain all the way down on the mic. The gain should be turned up to a reasonable level on the mic, and then adjust the recording level on your computer to suit. If your mic has a "clip light" on it, turn up the mic gain ...

1.0.0 only had "New Audio Track" so that concept was not renamed when adding a menu item to add a stereo track. I thought would be the reason, though Audacity has had "Add Stereo Track" for longer than I've been using it. I'll move this to the FR board so that everyone gets thei...

MP3 format is not capable of seamless looping - the closest that you can get to a seamless loop when using MP3 files is to ensure that the loop starts with silence and ends with si...

To add a new 2 channel stereo track:
Tracks > Add New > Stereo Track

To add a new 1 channel mono track:
Tracks > Add New > ???

Please provide the information requested in the pink box above. I am also having problems in creating an extra empty file beneath the file I want to edit. You mean an empty "track"? In Audacity 2.1.0 you can create a new (empty) track from the "Tracks menu > Add New > Audio track"

it will split my file into thousands of parts. That is really a pain in the butt to deal with having to reconnect them all. in different places when I'm editing for different things that overlap. Ignore the splits 'till you have finished editing, then you can "join" all of the split secti...
