Recording game play doesn't bother me. That's two sound programs running at the same time and Audacity doesn't always do that so well. Does it record from the soundcard (external microphone or headset) with no game or any other sound program running? That's a natural, intended connection. We should ...

install and uninstall a few different versions of audacity, The Windows version of Audacity installer has [X] Reset Preferences and Settings (select). Did you do that? Audacity has provision for making Preferences and Settings "sticky," so you can do an upgrade without losing all your cus...

It's safe to cut between two clips—sounds when the blue waves are going in the same direction and crossing the middle. If you don...

what about the wind sound? or that low droning? Oh. I thought you were stuck on the beep and had the other two nailed. I don't know of any way to make those two without a practical effect—find actual wind. The Cantina Scene in Start Wars was a real band with tons of effects piled on and actors mimi...

Most of that third sound I can do by plugging my keyboard into a computer, record almost any instrument (flute??) and send it through Effect > Distortion > Leveler multiple times at high compression. I would use my keyboard because it's far easier to create "instruments on a spaceship" tha...

What's the goal? What are you doing that resulted in the error? Reading for an AudioBook? Podcast?

What did you plug into the audio ports? In detail. Model numbers.
