Needs less which on the what now?
My first attempt at anything like this.
I shall attempt to work out what you're recommending and then try to work out how to do it.
Ta.

Dalek effect = too much
And if audacity has a compressor, you can easily reduce the discrepancy between amplitude of the two voices.
Plus, halve your filesizes - go mono!

OK. LFO appears to be low frequency modulation
Not one of the settings on the ring modulation plug-in. I had the lowest settings for everything.
I think it's normalizing it afterwards which is doing it. Messing about with that setting seems to help.
Don't know what a compressor is, so I shall have a play about with it.
Yes. Mono. good point.

How odd
The mono version seems to have come out 0.1mb bigger than the stereo one!

Compression in audacity
manual.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Compressor
Quick & dirty results - set threshold to around -20, ratio somewhere in the region of 5-6. Short attack and gain.
Don't let it "make up gain" to 0db, instead maybe turn it up to -6 or so after the compression.

I must say
none of this means anything to me. But at least it's pointing me in the right direction to try to learn what it all means!
So thanks guys.

a compressor and limiter will do the trick
the LFO on the ring modulator for the dalek effect I assume is too late to correct as it was recorded live with the effect. What software did you use?

Not recorded live with the effect
I added the effect this morning in Audacity using Killering plug-in on it's lowest settings. Then normaized the Dalek bits - which is the bit which seems to be causing the main problem. Changing the normalizing setting seems to be helping but I can't turn the ring modulation down any lower = everything is on the lowest setting.

how many audio tracks do you have?
both actors seperate and ambience?
if you can export them from audacity as MP3s I'll give it a whirl for you
if you are up for it I'll pm you my email

Unfortunately not
It's a stereo track recorded on a Zoom H2 sat on a table in the pub.

Kind of you to offer
but I'll have a play about with the suggestions so far.
I mostly just record it so I can send the other writers copies of their sketches as performed. This was an excuse to see if I could learn anything about audio editing and adding sound effects etc.

hehe
my point was... with the dalek effect, the LFO is changing the frequency, or speed, of the dalek effect over time - which isn't what you want, you want it constant.
Hope that helps.
Alternatively gaz me the original recording and I can put it through Logic for ya... will take me half an hour tops.
