There is a plug-in called "Channel Mixer" that can make a stereo track "wider" or "narrower". It is available here: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nyquist_Effect_Plug-ins#Channel_Mixer Installation instructions: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Download_Nyquist_Plug...

Hi I am trying to record a vocal track over an accompaniment played by Windows Media Player. Audacity supports multiple tracks. Rather than using Windows Media Player to play the accompaniment it would be better to Import the accompaniment track into Audacity and then record your new track. There i...

Generally, using a USB hub is not recommended. You should certainly not share the hub with any other high data throughput devices. My guess is that if the mic is the only device connected to the hub there will probably be no noticeable detrimental effects. The question that I would be asking myself ...

2. Shift+Home
3. Ctrl+T

Note that if any tracks start after time=0.0 you will still need to add silence to the start of all tracks by pressing Home, then generate some silence.

So I think that means that if you halve the bit rate for a "joint stereo" file that you made mono, you will almost certainly make it sound worse. Yes, though how noticeable that will be depends on the audio and what other settings were used. On the other hand, if you have a stereo track a...

Have a look near the bottom of the Transport menu and ensure that "Software Playthrough" is off (not selected).

Thanks all, I think you've solved my problem I really appreciate the advise. I have one more question, is there any way we can get audacity tracks individually into Logic for eq mixing etc.? I'm guessing export muliple won't work. Yes you can use Export Multiple (based on tracks), but in order to m...
