AIM: How do we create legit commercials on Audacity?

These are the requirements for your commercials:

1. They must be recorded and mixed professionally so that they sound excellent.
2. They must contain two or more recorded voices on multiple tracks.
3. They must include some sort of music.
4. They must include at least one effect from the effects menu.
5. They must include at least one sound effect (you can make this yourself on the mic or find one online - see below).
6. They must use multiple tracks that overlap.
7. They must sell your product!

Here are some sites where you can find free mp3 effects and instrumental loops for download. Be careful not to get distracted by all of the ads on the sides, and sometimes you have to scroll to the bottom of the page to get what you are looking for:
