Audacity was still working when you woke up your Air, right? I've done that with no troubles. Did you change anything between the interview and later, like disconnect a USB microphone? In that case, Audacity would have woken up to unstable conditions. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/recovery.ht...

The iMic is switched to line, I have tried both to be honest with no difference. I'm not an iMic fan. I tried one and the performance was so awful I put it in a box in the garage.
