How to fuse 2 audio tracks together into one?

Question

I am starting a podcast, and using Audacity. I am using Skype, and seeing that Audacity only records what's going out of YOUR mic, I would record my own track, and my co-host would record his own, then I would fuse them together so it would be a conversation. How do I fuse the two audio tracks together?

Answer 1

Set your computer to 'stereo mix' using Windows Volume Control and then Audacity records ALL audio played through your computer using a sound card - including mics. plugged in through the line in plug socket.

Alternatively, save both as MP3 or WAV on your computer and import them in and move around - this is fairly easy.

Answer 2

You need a multi-track recorder/device/program or the old fashioned way with a splicing block and tape.
