Open the drop-down menu for the upper of the two tracks and choose Make
Stereo Track. Audacity turns the two tracks into a single track, as shown
here:
Play back the stereo track, and verify that it sounds correct. If you need to
adjust it (for example, to align the tracks better), choose Edit | Undo Make
Stereo to separate the two tracks again.

Step 10: Export Your Project to an Audio File
When you??™ve finished mixing your project in Audacity, listen to it several times to
make sure you??™re satisfied with the sound. Adjust the mix or effects as necessary.
If you have bandmates, make them listen to it too, and get their approval. Otherwise, marshal
some friends or family, but be prepared to take their views with several pinches of salt, because
they probably don??™t have a firm grasp on your artistic vision.
To export your project, take the following steps. These assume that you are exporting
your project to a WAV file, but the process for creating an MP3 file is similar.
If your project contains unsaved changes, press CTRL-S or choose File | Save
Project.
Choose File | Export As WAV. Audacity displays the Save WAV (Microsoft)
File As dialog box.
Click the Browse Folders button to display the remainder of the dialog box if
you need to be able to access other folders.
Select the folder in which you want to save the file.
