Audacity does not do that. Sound activated recording is either enabled or not enabled. Why not use TeamSpeak 3 if that does what you want?

Using a reasonable quality 16 bit USB microphone I'm getting around -75 dB peak noise level, -88 dB RMS.

I was just curious though what Audacity considered normal levels but their silence (no pun intended) speaks for itself [!].

I'll be discussing this on the QA list and duplicate my main points here. The ability to "solo" more than one track at a time is a familiar feature for users of hardware mixing desks, and can be very useful. The analogy with hardware mixers breaks down for "export" as hardware mi...

Shift+M, thanks, I knew there was another one but I didn't remember what it was off the top of my head.
