You never got all the way to telling us what your sound device is.

That usually means the capture was happening too slow (I thought we had a write-up about this...). It's possible the notebook speed isn't up to recording live audio. Has it ever worked? Make sure the notebook isn't doing anything else. Stop all other activities, turn off the network or WiFi. Shut do...

I'm surprised it's not also distorted. Those two tend to go together. There is no convenient software fix.

It opens from a fresh desktop (double click the AUP file) in about a second. I'm doing this on a clean Mac with solid state drive, so nothing takes me v...

Which DJ controller? While I dig..... Did you go through MIDI remapping setup mentioned in the Serato literature? Audacity doesn't support MIDI very well, so anything MIDI does is likely to be invisible to Audacity. There is another posting from someone having trouble recording a Serato Intro. http:...

So you really want self-recording. Play something and Audacity records it.

Microsoft made self-recording harder and harder as the versions progressed. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/tutorial_recording_computer_playback_on_windows.html And even if you do get it to work, you may still have sound quality problems. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/faq_recording_troublesh...
