Alright, I often do radio scanner recordings, which I believe Audacity can really help me out.
I have two scanners and have a second sound card that I can put in to my 1.5GHZ/512MB machine.
I was wondering if I use Audacity, can I have one instance use Soundcard A and record, but have a second instance, record Sound Card B?
Two sound cards in the same machine...

In a word, no. Audacity will only work with one sound device at a time and you can only have one Audacity running.

That's not to say you can't record both scanners. Buy the splitter cables to put scanner A on the left and scanner B on the right. Record the whole thing and split up the stereo show into mono tracks later.
This could easily hum and buzz if you have an antenna on the roof.
