If Audacity is recording correctly, you will get bouncing red sound meters and blue waves along a timeline. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_record-650.jpg You can also get the bouncing red meters if you right-click on them > Start Monitoring. That's useful for troubleshooting. It runs the m...

I have WORD on my MAC I won't tell a soul. Another way to do that is screen capture the text and print that on the CD papers. No LIST (attached). I meant copy a list of the songs you like from the iTunes store and accumulate them for a massive downloading later. Can't be done as far as I can see. Koz

You may have to Shift- Select them all by clicking just above the MUTE buttons. I forget how that part works. That should string them out and Export will smash them into...

Did you make a recording? You should get accumulating blue waves and bouncing red recording meters if you were actually making a recording. If your display is a thin blue horizontal line, you didn't record anything. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/Audacity1_record-650.jpg You should select the headph...

We can't see what you're doing, so specifics are good. We live on model numbers and connection details. Checking your microphone with another program is good. That proves the microphone and computer are working, but now you need to establish the Audacity connection. The connections can be very diffe...
