Curious.
SoX stats only shows unweighted rms, NOT A-weighted. http://sox.sourceforge.net/sox.html

It's a complicated song, A few tips: Be aware of the "Sync-Lock" mode: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/sync_locked_track_groups.html This can be useful for keeping multiple tracks synchronised, but it is also easy to get into a complete mess if you have it enabled by accident. I usua...

Hanning (Hann) is a good general pur...

The problem is that your computer is reporting that there is no capture (recording) device available. Even if you're not recording, Audacity requires a fully functional audio device (playback and recording). Go into the Windows Sound Control Panel and enable an input device - it doesn't matter which...

Also mentioned during this instruction session was stats.ny For unweighted (Z-weighted / Zero Weighted) RMS, there is also RmsCalculate.ny http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=136369#p136369 This does not have the 30 second duration limit of the stats.ny plug-in. Note that the A-Weighted m...

Would it be possible to record this, still hear the backing track and not have the backing track recording as per my first question? No, because: To record what is playing in your browser you need to record what is playing on your computer. If you play back tracks in Audacity, they will be "pl...
