Are you sure that you have done step 6 and made a stereo track?

In Audacity 1.3.12 there is a "Karaoke" view (in the "View" menu) that can produce a fairly simple "bouncing ball" lyric display of text in the labels. If there is a huge amount of text in the label track it will gradually slow Audacity down, making it unresponsive. I'm...

If you're getting this sort of effect:
it indicates that something is being overloaded, probably the recording input.

How exactly are you making these recordings?
Tell me step-by-step what I need to do to reproduce the problem.

Which manual?
Are you still using the ancient Audacity 1.2.6? All development and bug fixing on the 1.2 series was abandoned years ago.

With the voices all on one track there's not much you can do - it's "in the mix", like having too much sugar in your coffee you can't really take some of it out. You could try using the "Compressor" effect, which can help to even out the volume across the recording http://manual....

the skipping isn't all the time its only happens say every 3 mins If it's a fairly regular period, it may be worth checking what you have running in the background. We've seen problems like that when people have an e-mail program that checks for new mail every few minutes, or disk maintenance progr...

There are quite a few tutorials now (see link at top of page or below this message), some of which will cover many aspects of what you are wanting to do. Unfortunately I don't think there is one specifically for recording bedtime stories, though by the time you have done a few you may have gained en...

It's baffling me as to why this is happening, but one thing that we can do is to restore Audacity to its original "fresh out of the box" state. If the problem persists after this then the problem is not in Audacity because we know that Audacity "fresh out of the box" works (even ...
