No, no. Stop, stop. I'm just saying that's a common mistake. I need to go back and read that again.

I have also noticed that there is a small delay in the sound from track to track. That and the clicking I believe means something in the system is not keeping up. 24 channels at 48K sampling is a lot of real-time data. Can you make it worse?

Even if you go that route and the voices is dominant, you don't walk away with a theatrical performance. You get a stutter...

Reducing this to its basics, most laptops have a Mic-In designed to accept a connection from a microphone. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/computerAnalogMicrophone.jpg You can't connect anything else. So how are you connecting the "anything else" (Lexicon, effects unit, disco mixer, etc...
