will not mix and render, either.do I need to reinstal
The default setting on Audacity 2-2-0 & later is that it appends recordings, rather than creating a new track every-time you start a new recording, (which was what happened in older versions of Audacity).
Press “shift” & press record to start recording on a new track, (rather than appending).
Or if you prefer the old behavior where the default is always record on a new track
just go to Edit > Preferences and choose the Recording tab and check on the box for Always record on a new track

got it thanks
THIS is how you handle a change in defaults like that. The Shift option is nice, but it’s great to be able to adjust default behavior. = )
Glad you approve
We turned it around to make it easier for newbies - but when we do that we try to make it possible to revert to the older more complex behavior (another good example is the behavior of the Solo button).
