Have you highlighted the entire track that you'd like to create flags for?

I haven't used that function myself, but at first glance this seems like the most obvious problem.

It would be great to know exactly what the error you got was. Until then, it's hard to say what the problem is.

You'll never get good results from a crappy computer mic. Building a useable studio takes a bit of investment. Until you can get some decent equipment, just practice the art of producing recordings. But don't expect them to sound nice until the equipment sounds nice. If you let us know a little more...

I'm seeing something strange, though I think it can be explained at least in part by my soundcard. I'll try to remember to run a test at home with my pro-quality card.

If you're working with only the final output of the podcast, then all you need to do is line up the files, invert one of them (it's a plugin called Invert, conveniently enough), a...

What kind of soundcard do you have? How are your drivers set up? What operating system are you using?

We need more info before we can help.

Danger, Will Robinson! Don't, don't, don't delete files that you've imported into projects unless you have the "Always copy all audio" options selected in the Preferences -> File Formats menu.
