I think we have been around this before. There are aspects of audacity I like, and it takes me 10 minutes to "trim" and normalization ALL of my audio for any song remove, clicks, unwanted passages and stuff, and convert stereo to mono."
Yes. I use Audacity a lot too. It's a very versatile program. I recall us discussing how I use the compressor and normalize my tracks. I find it easier to trim the stereo file in Audacity than all the tracks in RB prior to merging the song into a stereo file.
I no longer move every song into a DAW so I split stereo tracks and normalize some in RB. However, if I plan to burn several songs onto a CD, I trim, label, do fade ins/outs and normalize the sum of songs in Audacity.

Tech support could not figure out my lingering problem. Since going with this Scarlett 2i2 the melody track midi in yellow is out of sync with the RealTracks -a couple of bars behind. Resetting to factory settings (all option) fixes it but only for a while, it goes back to this problem. Unchecking the use VST/DX on the Midi driver setup dialogue box made it better but still off a little then later it was back to same.
You should put this in a new post/thread. Midi playing behind is called latency and is generally a driver issue. The Focusrite Scarlett is a good interface. What driver mode are you using with it? Are we talking about BB or RB or both? Give us as much detail on your recording rig setup as you can. I am using BB for live playback only, here is my setup -ASUS X751S win 10 laptop -Yamaha 408i PA -Yorkville YX10P powered monitor -Scarlett 2i2 1st gen I use a Instrument mic on ch 1 using mixer phantom power on ch 4 I have a dynamic mic. I am going to start a new topic to continue finding a solution to my issues. "Latency and static noise issues"

latency and "static" type noises...pops, clicks, drops and scratching are classic symptoms of using either the wrong driver such as MME or not having your ASIO settings properly adjusted. A laptop's built in sound chip is not a good option in the world of multitrack recording. Be sure you have the ASIO driver installed for the 2i2. Then it's a matter of adjusting the latency and buffers until you get a reasonably good playback. Some folks have to have settings for recording and another for playback. Hopefully, you can do as I did and find a nice middle ground which works for all situations and gives low latency under 5ms or so. 10ms is about as high as you really want to see.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
