and then Record That's the phrase that pays right there. Audacity will only record from one "thing" at a time. You can totally record something from on-line and then go back later and record your microphone. If you set it up, that's called Overdubbing, and you can compile yourself singing...

Even a dirt simple Behringer UFO-202 phono preamp has a place for that third wire. Screw terminal on the left.

You rang several bells there. If you're worried about RIAA equalization, then you're doing it wrong. RIAA is taken care of automatically in the Phono Preamplifier. You need to have a preamp or something that says it's a preamp. Do you have a classic analog turntable? It should have three cables: Lef...

We're looking for broken memory. You shuffled across the rug and didn't discharge yourself while you were installing the strips, or even got broken memory out of the static package.
