Audacity 2.3.3 functions. Any thoughts? The first thought is to use the current Audacity which is 2.4.2. The Audacity versions slightly old can have serious problems. https://www.audacityteam.org/download/mac/ the volume jumps to maximum. That's normal. When you record from a digital signal, Audaci...
