Re: not recording anything

To be more specific I am using a behringer xenyx502 mixing board. How is the Behringer xenyx502 connected to your computer? As in red near the top of this page: Please state which version of Windows you are using, the exact three-section version of Audacity from "Help > About Audacity".

Re: erasing parts of a track without everything else moving

Use "Split Cut" or "Split Delete". They are in "Edit menu > Remove Special".

Re: Differences between analogue & digital mixing?

Fundamentally, "poor" or "artificial-sounding" representation of "sound stage" (where the instruments are placed left-right and back-front in a believable ambience, and how the instruments blend into each other). Digital vs Analog is irrelevant to both of those concern...

Re: Plot Spectrum Accessibility

The first would be to have the ability to sort the textual output based on frequency, as it is now, or by volume, and to be able to sort ascending or descending values. Once you have exported the data, you could import it into a spreadsheet application (such as Excel, Open Office Calc, or Google Do...

Re: How to make something sound like it's coming from outsid

Roll off the treble so that it sounds a bit muffled. It will sound more authentic if you can make a contrast with rain outside and provide theatrical clues - for example: Door opens - rain sound. Enter John, dripping wet. Door closes - muffled rain sound quieter. John: "Oh it's filthy weather o...

Audacity 2.0.6 is available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/
