4-channel mix from 2 sources (in Audacity)
« on: August 20, 2009, 03:59:14 PM »
I've just acquired a second recorder unit, really for the purpose of doing some A/B tests of different sets of mics.  But I've also realized I could do some other pretty fun stuff, like running 4-ch mixes.  But, I need someone (patient) to explain to me how to go about doing it, and how it can be done in Audacity (if at all). 

I would be starting with two separate .wav files, of not necessarily identical length.  I first need to figure out how to open 4 channels in one window, second, how to line them up exactly time-wise, and third, of course, how to mix them down after editing them.

Like I said, computer recording is still a bit of a weak link for me, so the more specific the instructions the better.

Thanks in advance.

Check the README1st! sticky at the top of the forum.  There are a handful of links about this issue...at least one of which is Audacity-specific.
