Identical headphones I don't think that is a prerequisite, though if the devices are wildly different it could be tricky to get a reasonable recording level match. There could also be difficulties with synchronisation if they are different, but if you have a couple of head sets then give it a go an...

Let's start with a bold statement: Reinstalling Audacity never fixes anything. Explanation: Many users will tweak the Audacity Preferences to suit the way that they work. It would be really annoying if these settings were wiped out every time the program was updated, so like many other programs, Aud...

What I can do is make a screen print of a glitch section before I remove it. Should I save it in a Word Document? How do I attach it here? Save it as a JPG or a PNG file. You will then be able to upload to the forum with your reply - look below the message composing box and click on the tab that sa...

The idea is to WaveGain the tracks individually, and then create the medley from the adjusted tracks. (ReplayGai...

Yes, it's a very large rehearsal room. Mic was probably 30 feet from the band So, this "cardboard box / tinfoil / underwater" sound is what any H2 will sound like in a large room? Not just the H2, it will sound poor with any microphone. Drums sound like a cardboard box. (Nothing like a de...

This page on the Audacity wiki explains what the Vocal Removal effect does, and why it will not work on a mono track: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Vocal_Removal

I'm not a Mac user, but apparently there is a feature in the OS X sound system called "Aggregate Device". What this does is to allow multiple "sound cards" (in your case, USB mics) to be combined as one virtual device. You can then set Audacity to record from that virtual device,...
