You can reduce the level of the music where the student is not speaking, but unfortunately not in places where the student is speaking.

Audacity is free, so we don't have the resources to provide one-to-one telephone or e-mail support. Audacity is supported by "the community" (other Audacity users) via this forum, and through the comprehensive documentation ( manual and wiki ). I have no idea how to eliminate the "mud...

If you are simply converting to digital with no other e...
