If it was always broken on both computers, we would have had this licked by now. Having two microphones work perfectly on one computer and both fail on the other is a stumper. Exactly which laptop is it? New laptops don't have USB-A connectors any more. https://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/usb-a.jpg ...

close all the apps and programs and Shift+Shutdown. I don't expect that to magically turn up anything, but as a respected engineer told me, it's not good to ignore any possibilities. Particularly if you're stumped. Blue offers a software package called "Sherpa." Screen Shot 2021-01-10 at ...

It's also a terrific idea to close everything else running and restart the computer before the performance. Ther...

listening to another track or instrumental thru the headphones? Fair warning that even though it doesn't explicitly say so in the tutorial, you can't do "perfect" overdubbing with wireless headphones. You can absolutely do overdubbing, play along with an existing backing track and record ...

Fair warning Change Speed is the only one of the three that has minimal distortion when it's working. That one just effectively speeds up or slows down the data transmission. That's the one to use when you need to synchronize multi-point collaborations. The other two have to rip the sound apart, cha...

Audacity has the ability to create a Macro which is a method to automate repetitive tasks.

Audacity has three Change tools. Are you in effect making the third one by using the first two? Do you really want Change Tempo?
