Hi Andrew,
thanks for the info. Glad to hear that you're thinking of dropping JM a
line,
David.

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?

Hi Andrew,

here's a link to the podcast:

The discussion on DAWS starts at about 1 hour 8 minutes.

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.
