Do you see a waveform?

Does the curser and meters move so it "looks like" it's playing?

If so make sure the correct Playback Device is selected. (i.e. You can record from a USB microphone but you can't play-back though it. )

If you LIKE the sound of classic rock it's better to use ReplayGain/MP3Gain/WAVgain or Apple Sound Check, etc., which will automatically match the volumes (mostly by reducing the volume of the louder songs) and without compressing the dynamics. I have an iPod that "lives" in my car and Sound Check ...

I have a Tascam mixer Is that actually a mixer or an interface? Most USB mixers only give you the stereo mix, but they do give you a mix of all the inputs so all of the mics should work. If it's an interface, it looks like some Tascam interfaces ship with Cubase and for multi-track recording you'll...

Have you tried completely removing the tags and starting over? ...Audacity doesn't handle/support all tags (or all tag formats) perfectly, and in-general (not just Audacity) tagging for WAV files is not well-standardized or well-supported. Since the original MP3s were OK, you can try trimming them w...

There are ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags.

Does tag&rename allow you to check/edit them both?

I can't help with the details but you can probably do what you want with FFT. (I did a quick search of the Nyquist documentation and it does have some FFT functions.)

When you export, the Window where you enter the file name and type of file also has options for bit depth, etc., depending on file type. I want to change a 16 bit mono track to 24 bit But why??? You don't automatically get higher resolution or better sound by converting to a higher resolution format...

If you have a good tape and a good machine (with the proper tape-type and noise reduction settings) you don't need equalization, Diagnosis first, then treatment. Mixing & mastering engineers often use a known-good reference recording, You don't necessarily have to "match" the sound of the reference ...

MP3Gain will automatically match the volumes without de-compressing and recompressing. I want to take a subset of my files and "re-record" them so that the volume is consistant for my car music. Make a backup before processing. Note that most commercially released music is normalized/maximized incl...

My recording doesn't even progress nor record".

That's because you've selected "loopback" which is for streaming/playing audio and there is no digital audio stream going into the Yeti. Assuming you want to record from the Yeti, select it without loopback.
