Audacity Forum

That is because you have such an old version of Audacity (2.0.1). The WASAPI host was introduced in Audacity 2.0.4. So if you are determined not to upgrade, you can't use WASAPI. But upgrading to the current 2.1.2 should be much less of a shock than upgrading from Windows 2000 to Windows 10. ;) You...

But where do you find WASAPI? As I said, it doesn't show up in the audio host menu on my version of Audacity.

Looking again at the tutorial, I see that it says to use WASAPI for Windows Vista, 7 or 8 only. I have Windows 10.

I'm using a version of Audacity that doesn't have WASAPI. Those drop-down menus read (from left to right): MME/Windows DirectSound, Headphones (High Definition)/Microsoft Soundmapper, Line In (High Definition)/Microsoft Soundmapper, and 1 (Mono) Input/2 (Stereo) Input. This might be a function of my...

I'm sorry if this seems to duplicate some other topics, but I've searched for awhile and can't quite find what I'm looking for. Tonight I used Audacity 2.0.1 for the first time on a Dell desktop running Windows 10 that I acquired recently. Previously I used the same release with Windows 2000. I save...

In this case, I was recording off the radio. The tuner drifted off of the frequency, and as I was frantically tuning the station back in, I passed across another one, which is what I think the clipped portions show. The rest of the time, the meter was bouncing up close to 0, so I'm not sure I can pu...

Actually, my devices are different. I was using 1.2 on a Dell with Windows 2000, and now am using 2 on a newer Dell with XP. So that might make a difference. I did increase the input level so it wasn't quite so timid, and the wav form got a little wider and easier to see. HOWEVER, it still doesn't s...

I might not be using the right nomenclature. I mean I want the blue wav form to better fill the space it's in, not have the tracks fill the screen (which is what happened when I checked the box you suggested, then started and stopped recording). I've attached some screen shots showing a form in 1.2....

I'm using Audacity 2.0.1 on a Dell computer with Windows XP. I record from the web and the radio and lately have been digitizing LPs (through a stereo jack cord from receiver to Line In). I've got my Input level set at 6, which generally puts the blue max indicators on the meter at just below -6db, ...

Come to think of it, this has also sometimes happened in the past when I recorded that show directly off the radio broadcast--one or two of the band members sounded as if they were playing off-mike, way upstage. I think your diagnosis was correct (and thank you), although I can't be exactly sure fro...
