Re: Recording with Multiple USB Mics

Glenn, have you actually tried doing that and got it to work?

Re: Recording Live Sound- Opera

Do as much preparation as possible well in advance of the event.

Re: How To Import Audacity Files From Another PC

Provided that there are no dependencies, I think Audacity projects should be compatible with an equivalent version of Audacity on different platforms. There can be problems when using different versions, particularly between ANSI and Unicode versions. I don't have a Mac to test on, so if you try thi...
