Audacity Forum

Thank you for your suggestion, but I have searched and cannot find "Smart Recording" anywhere on my 1.3.11 beta verson of audacity. Maybe it's called something else?

When I play back a speech I've recorded, it seems the program is cutting out the natural silence/breath between spoken phrases. What is that called on Audacity so I can adjust it or how can I fix it? Does this happed during recording or during playback? Thanks for any help.
