Different button. Many of us set a label (Control-B, maybe?) so we can find it later and then just keep rolling. It helps to keep the theatrical rhythm going. If you insist on stopping to collect your thoughts, press "P" to pause the recording. If you press Stop by accident, you can resume...

I don't have a sample of this recording session, but I made several successful voice recordings with furniture moving pads. http://www.kozco.com/pictures/boothFinished/laptop-mic.jpg http://kozco.com/pix/oneWallKit.jpg http://kozco.com/pix/partiallyConstructedWall.jpg The natural urge is to blow big...

It's not the greatest gift ever, but it works remarkably well and it's cheap. I have two, the company has at least five. A very few people have posted back that they had troubles with it and almost always in conditions where they could not control sound levels. You can overload it. You should make r...

Did you install Win7 on a very old machine? Windows 7 had higher requirements for machine resources than earlier Windows versions. A reccurin...

Yes. You can compile (build) the Audacity software with ASIO support built-in. This process is fully supported and legal, but it does work out a lot better if you know what "included libraries" and "tar balls" are. Programmers like to think everybody can do this, but that hasn't ...
