Can anyone explain exactly what it does and the procedure for using it? Normally you wouldn't use it, but as it says in the manual (link in waxcylinders post) it allows you to hear exactly what the Noise Removal effect is removing. With a bit of creative application it could perhaps be used to opti...

You can probably record the headphone output from the voice recorder using a suitable lead (stereo mini-jack) to connect it to a Line input on your computer. If your computer is a laptop PC you probably won't have a Line-level input, in which case you would need to use the microphone input which is ...

I'll leave the Mac specific stuff to Koz as I know nothing about Macs. You write that you can "play back the edited file with exactly the same beautiful sound quality as the original performance," but I'm not sure how to read that. MIDI files sound pretty electronic, I mean, you know they'...

PulseAudio may have crashed. I don't know why this should happen, but it occasionally happens to me if I click too rapidly on Play. PulseAudio recovers automatically, but this is too late for Audacity as Audacity is waiting for a connection that's no longer there. You may be able to recover from thi...

Which one? Look in "Help menu > About Audacity". The range is from 1.3.1 to 1.3.13 and may be ANSI or Unicode. Unicode Good. Now pick a number between 1 and 13 :) The current version is 1.3.13, so that's the one that you should be using. I use Stereo Mix to record as microphone doesn't wo...

I'll go and buy an M/M cable from eBay, or if I see it in a shop, and try it out on the Macbook and then just transfer it over, like you say. The first thing to check is that the Macbook does have a stereo line-level input (most of them do). If you don't have the user manual, try looking for the ex...

The flip side to Koz's reply: Yes you can do that with Audacity but you need appropriate equipment. Audacity 1.3.13 would be recommended.

The task you are describing is EXTREMELY complex.

(this may also provide an idea of just how complex the task is).

How are you doing that? An ION USB turntable?
