I’m using Mac OS X 10.7.5 and Audacity 2.0.3…
Can I reduce the monitor volume (i.e. the sound I hear during recording) without reducing recording volume? If so, how? I want to be able to listen while recording, but not at as high a level (it blasts my ears!) as I need for a good recording.
I thought I could do it by moving the Audacity output volume slider toward the “-” end, but when I do that the recording volume goes down. I’ve also tried lowering the Mac’s speaker volume using the volume control icon in the toolbar at the top of the screen, but doing that also reduces the recording volume.
