Your Focusrite interface should have come with Ableton LIve Lite, and I assume it supports multi-track recording. (Commercial versions of Ableton Live do support multitrack.)

P.S. I'm a beginner trying to make playlist and mixes. From vinyl? If you are "scratching vinyl" and maybe rapping and you want to record your "performance", a mixer is a good way to do it. But if you just want to combine digital songs into one-big file (optionally crossfaded) that can be done enti...

Then randomly when I tried to record one day, I noticed the sound wave in the Audio Track screen was almost a strait line with just little bumps How about the LED meters on your Komplete interface? Are they still showing good levels? Make sure you've selected the USB device as your Recording Device...

Make sure Windows is set-up for stereo. There is some information here.

Any good ones? No, I haven't tired them. Like I said, I LIKE dynamics and I don't do original music production so I don't have that much use for a compressor. Compression is mostly used during music production (mixing & mastering). And it's used by radio stations for "constant loudness" and to be "...

You'll need a video editor. I've used Corel Video Studio and I currently have Cyberlink PowerDirector. Both are priced at about $100 USD. There are some free alternatives but I haven't tried them. Microsoft Movie Maker was free but I don't know if it's still available. Gizmo's has a list of free vid...

Basically, if I create a song 100% my own including writing lyrics, making the music for it, singing it, and use Audacity to do this, I owe Audacity nothing? BTW - You AUTOMATICALLY own the copyrights to your creations (at least here in the U.S.) so nobody can (legally) distribute or publish your s...

There's more than one way to do this stuff, but IMO - One USB mic can be super-convenient. More than one USB microphone can be super inconvenient and possibly less reliable, if you can get it to work at all. :( Reliability is important if you have invited guests who won't want to sit around while yo...

Will the creators of Audacity need anything? For example payments and/or permissions. No. That's true with every audio & video editor I know of... There are no restrictions on what you can do with the tools. Of course Audacity is audio-only so if there's video you'll need a video editor. Most video...

Okay so I recorded a song at 96 kHz (sample rate) as mono (1058 kbps) 1058 kbps doesn't make sense for a regular uncompressed WAV file. Where are you seeing that? (Compressed files can have almost any bitrate). 96khz x 8-bits is 768kbps. A stereo file or a 16-bit mono file is twice that. 1411kbps i...
