Here it is. The toolbar on the main Audacity screen is a shortcut for the preference settings. Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Devices. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/devices_preferences.html Do you have MME set as your Host? Further down, what are the options for Recording Device? I think tha...

Do you get that little green bouncing sound meter to the right of the Windows icon? There's something really strange going on here. A stage/studio with an XLR connector won't work, because it's low-impedance balanced. But, a high-impedance unbalanced (2-wire) mic with a 1/4" connector should wo...

It is possible with high energy or EDM to get a music track so jacked up that it appears as a sea of red bands and it's not distorted at all, at least it matches the composer's wishes. In that case, just Effect > Amplify to -1 or Effect > Normalize to -1 and the red bands will vanish and the music s...

I've repaired my permissions recently, maybe two days ago, I'll do it again. You can have permissions issues if you do a security upgrade or in some other way change the system at the OS-X level. Generally, installing applications or doing production won't do it. Permissions are a system level sett...
