* You often hear parts double-tracked on recordings, especially vocals but also rhythm guitar or others. You can get a more natural effect by recording the same part twice (but timing becomes VERY important) or a tighter effect by using a short delay, possibly combined with a tiny pitch-shift.
* Play with delay and reverb, but don't go wild unless that's the sound you're after.
* Try layering instrument parts, e.g. two rhythm guitar parts with different chord voicings.

@niwakunn78 I don't think Audacity is advanced enough to compete with commercial recording software, but a few things that can help are:
* Keep noise on recorded sound to an absolute minimum, and investigate Audacity's noise removal feature if needed.
* Ensure instruments really are tune. Consider fixing tuning slips in vocals using the Sliding Time Scale/Pitch Shift tool if needed.
* Be prepared to ditch any take that has even a minor noticeable error (quiet note, timing problem, etc.)
[TBC]
I'm glad the audio quality is good. All tutorials I so far saw for Audacity had ironically terrible voice recordings.
It definitely would help to be able to hear what audio is going on in the computer.
Was it not possible for you to use loudspeakers, so that the microphone could at least record the audio this way?
Also: I do not like your double-fading technique. Why not simply select a shorter part of the track for fading and cutting of the rest?

There are many ways to do this differently but I wanted to show a REALLY simple way of doing it without having to edit the music.
If I used speakers then I would feed back on myself.

> simple
I don't see how the other way is more complicated. But oh well.
> feedback
Oh I see. I thought there was a [ ]checkbox that allowed disabling the mic-audio to go to the speakers but still be recorded.

You may be right. I'll look into it.
