That's actually not a bad idea and I was considering it. Thanks for the affirmation :3

That's kind of also what I wanted to hear. Thanks for the tip.

I have tried recording channel by channel before and had such trouble trying to get them lined up perfectly in Audacity that I just gave up and recorded all channels simultaneously. I've been recording whole songs as they play on the Game Boy and have had no trouble with it at all.
Try downloading some free DJ software and using that. You should be able to use audacity though, there's a move audio tool that actually took me a few years to find. It lets you slide the separate recordings into position. Ideally you'd want to use a more powerful DAW, like reaper (kinda free, check it out)

]]>what goes on an album??
either plan your album from scratch with a vibe for each tune, and planned themes + progression, or just make a whole bunch of tunes and find which piece together best, and how.
i would go for the latter myself cos plans change and things digress. I did the latter and the album was a success, soon to be released.. have fun .. and make love
