Side note: the article mentions canned laughter in TBBT rather early. TBBT actually doesn't use canned laughter but uses laughter from the live audience for its laugh track.

I pity that I didn't have the chance to visit the studios and be part of that laugh track :(

It's normally a mix of both. All such shows will heavily edit/enhance the audience laugh track during post production.

Also scenes are occasionally filmed outside the studio where there is no live audience.

Afaik they prefilm these and show them on a screen to the audience at the right moment of the episode and then capture that reaction.
