Open Audacity, then use ‘File > Import > Audio…’ in the toolbar repeatedly to import all of your recordings. They should be stacked on top of each other on separate tracks (these are the horizontal blocks running along the screen).
You can name each track with e.g. ‘interview with Sally Wilson’, to stop you from getting confused while editing. Just click on the track’s default name and select ‘name…’ to rename it.
Does your audio appear in stereo or mono? If it’s in stereo, it will look like the track has two parts, and if it’s in mono it will look like it has one part. If it’s in stereo, mix it down to mono using ‘Tracks > Mix > Mix stereo down to mono’. Do this for every recording.
If you have lots of tracks, you can fit them all on your screen by clicking on and dragging the lines between the tracks.
