With a single track you're not going to have much luck making the voice stand out more, it's impossible to separate two sound sources when they're mixed together into a single track. Here's a wiki page on Gverb: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=GVerb I suggest starting with the section t...

You mean you're playing in time with the backing track and the final product is off-beat? Or do you mean that you're hearing two monitoring signals when you record? If you've got the first problem, there's a feature called "Latency Correction" in the beta versions of Audacity. I wrote a tutorial on ...

Steve, I know this is an old post, but I can explain why the number of tracks doesn't make a difference in the audio-to-buffer setting. All the computer has to do is add together floating point numbers n times (where n is the number of tracks). It doesn't take very long to do that at all. I think th...

marcel, Try recording at a different sample rate (like 48000 Hz). Cheap motherboard sound cards aren't known for the stability of their clocks. Your computer is probably not the problem, I used to use a P3 800-MHz to record 20+ track projects (though never more than 2 at a time). I would first suspe...

If I'm reading that correctly, then it sounds like you've got about 1/2 reflective materials and 1/2 damping material. I'm told that's a good ratio. I have a feeling you'd benefit from some bass traps in the corners of the room, but don't forget that a lot of this is guess work on my part. It also l...

Hmm... I'm not shifting any of the "real" tracks time-wise... only what I'll call my "bass canceling track" which is processed to match approximate amplitude of, and to sync to the "real track", then inverted combined with that track to create my "de-bassed real track". Fair enough, if it works it ...

I did a Google search (the best calculator on the internet) for: "15 feet / speed of sound". I got this back: (15 feet) / speed of sound at sea level = 13.435599 milliseconds Is that about how far off the two tracks were? Your method probably won't work well in the long run. If you do this for all t...

You're correct, WC. New versions of Audacity (starting with 1.3.4) no longer export muted tracks along with the rest of the project. Earlier versions did.

There is no magical tool that will help you. The Noise Removal doesn't work because it's only really useful for constant background noises (like tape hiss and hum noises). You may have some luck by carefully looking at the Spectrogram (drag the track so it's as large as the display allows and click ...

What do you mean by "more broadband"? Do you want to add more harmonics to the sound? That's what a distortion pedal does. You can make a nice distortion with careful use of the Hard Limiter (it should actually be called a variable clipper if you ask me). Pink noise is certainly a broadband sound, b...
