Audacity Challenge

[squibble94]

Hey guys

I have a challenge for you. I want you to mix a song ENTIRELY with the free DAW Audacity. (I assume you all know what it is) You can only use the plugins that Audacity gives you. No exceptions. The reason I say mix is because I don't think Audacity allows multichannel recording. Bad for drummers. So track it in your DAW of choice, then mix the raw tracks in Audacity. Let's see how everyone does. Good luck!

If there are any problems/questions, feel free to post.

Um.......why????

This is kind of a "How resourceful are you without your usual tools" challenge

This is kind of a "How resourceful are you without your usual tools" challenge

But Audacity is my usual tool

And, I track to a standalone (vocals & guitar)

I think you're making a lot of assumptions based on your own view of the world.

Hey guys

The reason I say mix is because I don't think Audacity allows multichannel recording.

From the source:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about/features

Record up to 16 channels at once (requires multi-channel hardware).

Plug-Ins

* Add new effects with LADSPA plug-ins.
* Audacity includes some sample plug-ins by Steve Harris.
* Load VST plug-ins for Windows and Mac, with the optional VST Enabler.
* Write new effects with the built-in Nyquist programming language.

Audacity updated lots since I've used it. Okay, I think I'll lock this thread. Seems too un-though out
