Hi Robert
You said, " Notice that it is not possible to record only the right side..." If
we are both thinking of the same situation, I can record on the right side only
if I wish. I simply pan hard right and record. Not that there seems much
point in doing so - may as well record into a mono track. Have I missed
something?

He's certainly right on the recording side of things.
Most times, you can either record left/mono or left+right/stereo.
Notice that it is not possible to record only the right side, i.e.
channel 2.
Likewise with the few devices that allow more than two channels. The first one
(left) is always given and you can only increase the number of channels but not
pick one at random.
As for editing, it is multi track but single time range, that is,
non-contiguous or multiple selections (time-wise) are not possible.
Mind, that's not necessarily a disadvantage, especially for us.

Hi David
Any stereo mixer can record into two separate mono tracks. Simply
pan the mixer’s left channel hard left and the right channel hard
right. After recording, split the stereo track into two mono tracks.
But if one wanted to have three or more mics going to separate
tracks, that would stretch the friendship.

Hi Andrew,
There seemed to be two contexts in which he was suggesting Audacity
can only deal with single tracks.
The first was editing, and that's clearly incorrect.
The second, was recording multiple channels into separate tracks, for
example when recording from two microphones. This isn't an area
which I'm familiar with, but from what I've read, at least some
mixers seem work with audacity and enable this to happen.
David.

Thanks David. Governor Staten beat you to it. I think I will drop JM a
line and suggest that he does a bit more than having a play with
Audacity.
Do you believe it is inaccurate to call Audacity a single track DAW?

Audacity is definitely a multi-track workstation. I am most surprised if
Jonathan does not know that. Could you send me a link to his podcast.

Hello guys. I"m listening to a podcast from Jonathan Mosen, Mosen at
Large. He says that Audacity is a single track digital audio workstation.
I
don't think that this is the case. Correct me if I'm wrong. When I
receive
confirmation that it isn't a single track digital audio workstation, I'll
correct Mr. Mosen.
