Audacity Recording with OS Catalina - I don’t have any problem opening the app, I just can’t record from my Sony turntable Codec device or my Pyle USB Audio PnP Cassette device! If I open app with Terminal the Codec device works but the PnP doesn’t work! Codec works using Garage Band but PnP doesn’t...

I finally figured it out! My USB cable was too long! I went back to the original shorter cable and the Mac found the Device which is Pnp and not Codec as is the Sony Turntable. Everything is now working again. Thanks for your input!

This machine does have cable output, which works just fine, but I'm not sure how to input to the Mac? Do you have advice?

Thanks, Koz. I'll try your suggestions.

I have been using a Sony turntable and a Pyle cassette tape deck, both with USB connection, to transfer my albums and tapes to my MAC using Audacity. My turntable still works just fine but the cassette deck is no longer recognized. I've tried changing all the input settings but nothing seems to work...
