You can import audio (“clips”) with each in a track of its own. You can position audio clips end to end within the same track; use drag and drop. You can select all the clips in a track, and join them together so as to make a single exportable clip.

Drag the waveforms where u want them to go

I'm not quite sure what the question is. But yes, you can import multiple audio tracks within one audacity project. Each row on the program can be a different track.

I just re-read your message withthe additional details provided in the thread.

Audacity IS recording one mic on channel 1 and one mic on Channel two (or what ever the channels are).

When Audacity records two channels, only, it records them as a stereo pair by default. Recording 1, 3 , 4 or more channels records the channels separately in their own track.

The stereo track you see has a little triangle menu on the upper right corner of the panel on the left side, next to the beginning of the audio. Click on the triangle to get a drop down menu. There should be an option to split the stereo track to mono tracks.

This is the default behavior of Audacity and last I looked, not something you can modify.

Record on the Rodecaster and then move the .wav files (one track per mic) to the laptop and import them in Audacity. Same setup, less fuss.

Audacity, on Windows (not Mac or Linux) is legally incompatible with ASIO drivers used by most interfaces for multichannel devices.

Try another program to record that is not under the GPL. You can edit in any program

OcenAudio is free

and Reaper is great and cheap with a generous fully functional trial.

You’ll want to go into the settings on the Rodecaster. Change it from stereo to multitrack. Once you do that you can export each track individually.

R: start recording

Shift + R: start recording in a new track

You don't need tutorials. Just read the official documentation. 

preferences/recording/record on a new track

https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_recording_multi_track_overdubs.html

you can also leave the prefs on single arm and just use shift when you want to arm multiple.

the multi setting behavior can be annoying b/c you have to manually un-arm all tracks anytime you want to change what's armed.

Good on you for editing your post with the YT vid answer! I hope something good happens to you today

How are you connecting the microphones to the computer? Usually this goes mic > mixer > PC

If the mixer outputs a single mono or stereo track to the PC you'll have a problem, if the mixer delivers a track for each input then you can have them separated.

One fix is to have one microphone on the left band of a track and the other on the right band and then split them in audacity

Which Behringer mixer do you have? I don’t think I’ve seen one with that does more than 2 channels over USB. So unless I’m mistaken, it’s a hardware issue and not a software issue. But once you tell us which Behringer mixer, we’ll know for sure b

The behringer mixer likely only outputs two channels. (It mixes stuff together.)

If it puts out more than two channels, you'd need to install drivers. Audacity on windows will not record more than two tracks (it can edit as many as you want in post). Reaper can, as can other DAWs, like cakewalk/garage band, studio one.

offhand I'm thinking this an OS sound preferences problem not an Audacity problem. Check you sound preferences.

If this is what you are trying to achieve

> I can't record seperate tracks having one mic panned left and the other panned right.

Then audacity will not record that way.

Audacity on windows is limited to recording (not editing) two tracks.

On windows, you'll need a DAW that supports recording from multiple channels, like Reaper, Presonus, etc.

You'll also need to install the drivers (out of the box, windows only supports two channels as well).

Get yourself a Zoom Podtrak P4 and record into it, and then pull the files into Audacity.

In addition you will need an interface (analog to digital) and one mic for each speaker. Reaper is a great choice of DAW btw.
