There's a closely guarded conspiracy not to show us the back of the microphone. Even the instruction manual only shows the front. What possible evil could be lurking back there?

Audacity is probably struggling with another application to get time in the sound channel. Are you trying to run a game and record at the same time? Audacity doesn't p...

Or change the name of the file. People get in trouble all the time by "stepping on" the old file with corrections instead of creating a completely new file. This can get you into very serious trouble if the machine damages an Export. In one swoop, it can take out the corrections, the edit ...
