Select the part that you want to edit, then press Ctrl + Shift + K (or select the "In all tracks" command from the "Select" menu -> "Tracks" sub-menu). Then apply your edit / effect and it will be applied to all tracks.

Audacity also has a "Sync-Lock" feature, but I don't use it myself.
(Google for "audacity sync-lock").

What would you think it would not clip when you combine all audio? Learn some basic mixing concepts

To open more files at once with Windows you can mark all files in the explorer, click the right mouse button and chose "open".

And macros is the way to apply a bunch of sound effects on one audio at once like LWinterberg says. To work with macros can be fun!

You can use macros for that: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/macros.html

Audacity doesn't support multitrack recording. Sorry

I'd recommend the latter of those 2. Set labels with something memorable about the song like the band or title and also choose to number the exported tracks sequentially so they stay in order. Much quicker than exporting one by one. Audacity is also scriptable, worth remembering for another time.

Assuming there is some space between the songs, you can highlight each song and then File->Export->Export Selected Audio. Another approach is to create a label track, label each song and then File->Export->Export Multiple. This will let you export each labeled area as a separate file with the title being the label you have assigned. There are a lot of options in Export Multiple.

Whichever works best for your workflow.

Are these supposed to be played back at the same time or are these like alternate audio versions entirely?

I'd edit together.

Not sure exactly what you're going for...

You COULD manually keyframe (use Nodes on that white line to adjust audio)... but...

Chose 1:

A) Look into "Auto Ducking" built into PPro (Essential Sound Panel) to AutoKeyframe since one audio track looks like Music & other looks like Dialogue.

B) Have A1 &,A2 highlighted

• use Keyboard Shortcut for "Add Edit"
• use Keyboard Shortcut to add Crossfade
• refine Audio levels by adjusting Audio Gain of each Clip (Bypassed all keyframing)

Ideally you want to do things in a non-destructive way, and merging them into a stereo track is "destructive".

So, don't limit yourself and use effects where it makes sense. Keep the tracks separated:

1. You can add effects in either track if you need to fine tune something (like, different EQs, or maybe a subtle reverb or chorus only on one side).
2. You can send them both to a bus if you want to add effects over them.
3. You can add fx sends either from the tracks or the bus to create copies.

Here's a link outlining how to do what I described in my other reply:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k-3VF7Dmu4&ab_channel=PreSonusAudioElectronics

I wouldn't "merge" the tracks. I would put them in a folder, add a group bus for that, and then put whatever processing and effects you want to have, on that bus.

Hey! Don't know about audacity as I'm using reaper (which I suggest you to try it btw). Every DAW is different but at the same time concepts are the same. As an audio engineer myself I could say Post production can be a bit overwhelming though. I'd suggest learning basics first (leveling, pan, static mix, etc)

There's still a lot you can do with editing in Audacity (it has the best editor there is). Don't worry about the 'bells and whistles' like EQ and noise reduction; start with

'topping and tailing' - you often want to get rid of the beginning and the end of what you've recorded. Do this by

- clicking near the beginning, close to where you think you want your edited audio to start

- place the cursor - without clicking - to the left of where you've clicked. Then press the B button on your keyboard; this will play the audio up to where you've clicked earlier. Then place the cursor - without clicking - to the right of where you've clicked, and press the B button on your keyboard. This will play the audio from where you clicked earlier, and effectively previews the edit. If you're happy, go to the 'select' menu, select 'region', then 'track start to cursor', and use the scissors to make the edit. If you're not happy, click again in the audio where you think you might want your edited audio to start, and repeat. You do something similar at the end of the audio, except this time you use 'select' - 'region - 'cursor to track end'

Let me know when this works for you.

What specifically are you trying to do? It's better to focus on just one particular thing, instead of trying to "learn all of Audacity". As far as starting a podcast, just record the content now and worry about figuring out the editing stuff later.

Check out this YouTube playlist, which covers all the basics of Audacity and more. You can skip a few videos which focus on music more than podcasting: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZWGTnpapial7S0qIRzJCoGTpky_DBIzx

I use audacity and I hate it. Don't be afraid to google each step.

"How do I connect a microphone to audacity"

"How do I see if audacity is recording?"

"Should I use stereo or mono tracks in audacity?"

Literally just google everything. Its a massive learning curve at first and it takes a long tedious time but once you get it you'll get faster.

Word of advice when you do finally master the basics. Record and edit sounds and etc in seperate projects -so background music in one, recording in another, interviews in another - and then export them separately when they're done, and mash them into a new final project. Audacity remembers each tiny edit you make per project. So if you clip and cut and paste on the same open window for hours, it will eventually slow down so much it will corrupt your file and you won't be able to even open it.

Audacity is free and good to get started but it's also absolutely garbage software. Good luck!

Sadly I haven't found a way to do this either. I think audacity is just primitive and cheap enough that they skimped on that. So basically you're trying to highlight enough noise to get a noise profile to remove all the noise from the track?
