MIDI doesn't carry sound and Audacity doesn't speak MIDI. I have a MIDI keyboard but I plug its headphone sound connection into the stereo recording connection of my Mac. If you have a later Mac or almost any Windows laptop, you may need an external USB stereo converter such as the Behringer UCA202....

i have a new mac mavericks computer and see no more jack entry for sound(microphone). Macs around 2011-2013 didn't have microphone inputs, or they had them, but they were combined with a stereo input like the thin black circle with two black arrows: http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MacLineIn....

Your hand claps are what a Spanish would call "Sorda", i.e. dark. But we need a tight sound. Are we up to two pencils yet? Easily repeatable sharp impact with common objects that doesn't overload the microphone or amplifiers. The earlier problem was caused by an incompletely damped microp...
