Audacity Forum

You're listening from two different sources, you're always going to have a delay.

What you can do is play with the latency parameter in the preferences to correct that in the recorded track, or you can use the time shift tool afterwards.

No need to double post. I merged both topics. The problem you're experiencing is due to latency.

Worked fairly okay for most of the concert with the last five minutes of the concert *slightly* out of sync. I had individual files for different sections of...

apt-get is a package management tool for debian based distributions. For redhat based distros apt-get should also be available but it's not the default... The redhat/fedora equivalent is yum I'm not that much familiar with it so I'm not sure if there's a "build-dep" equivalent on yum, you'll have to...
