OK, I'm having problems with Audacity again. I'm hoping somebody here can help me out. I'm trying to piece together two seperate pieces of music together. I tried it last night and everything worked ok, so I know I'm just doing something wrong. Why can't I get one sound file on the bottom, and the other above? It keeps opening a second Audacity main page, instead of having one file directly above or below a secod one. Did that make sense? I hope it did. lol Anyway, whenever I've edited two pieces together, I always have one file right below the top one, and I just slide the file to the top and just move it to where the other sound file ends. I've been pressing the "<->" icon, but it's not working the way it did last night. lol

You should just be able to select "Project>import audio" and it will add a new separate stereo track below whatever is already there. Not sure what the problem would be if that doesn't work.

Thanks, I figured it out a few days ago. I was trying to open from the "recent files" in Audacity itself. I forgot that you have to save files and then import them from where you saved. I still make a few noob mistakes sometimes.  Grin

Now, I have a question!

I know the whole 'split track to mono>invert one channel' removes the centre channel. Now what I posit to you is.... how do you keep the centre? From my limited knowledge, I'm wondering whether it's possible in Audacity? Is that where the hardcore spectral analysis comes in?

I was just about to post another question.  Grin I want to be able to hear one recording in one channel, and something different in the other channel. Two different recordings playing at the same time, only seperated between channels. I know how to combine recordings to synch up, and I know how to edit one section to play directly after the other ends, but not how to do what I've described above. I know how to save a recording that I panned to one side though. If I save the right channel of a recording, and the left channel of another, what happens when I try to put them together? I don't want to have an equal amount of audio on both sides. I want to be able to hear specific sounds on each seperate channel. Confused yet? I am.  LOL
