Windows XP internbal tape-recorder with Audacity Do you mean Windows Sound Recorder? I don't understand what the goal is. Do you want to use Audacity to record your voice on a microphone plugged into your computer? Yes, that works, but it doesn't have anything to do with Windows Sound Recorder. I w...

I input from another source How? How are you switching to another source, remembering that I can't see your machine? Just to cover the bases, I would switch two locations. Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input and select your FireWire device. Make sure the blue sound meter jumps whe...

You can try Transport > Hardware Playthrough or Transport > Software Playthrough in Audacity.

That works for me on all my Macs. Sometimes I forget and leave that running when I'm trying to record a microphone. That's not a good combination.

I'm currently trying to record my mic and computer audio Do you mean you're trying to do overdubbing -- play the old tracks into your headphones while you sing to them onto a new track? You don't use Stereo-Mix for that. Audacity has its own track management that takes care of that. You have to pla...

You say the show is in stereo, but does Audacity think the show is in stereo? The only way to get left and right to split up like that is trying to edit two mono shows at the same time, one above the other. You can convert everything to actual mono by following steve's directions, or you can repair ...

If your older computer had three connections like this... http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/soundCardFinal2.jpg Then yes, it's perfectly valid to plug the Green connector into the Blue one and get self-recording that way. Those two are both high level stereo, one in and the other out. Not so th...

Just a quick note that there is a difference between Audacity recognizing the equipment for the purpose of recording it and you hearing it. Those are two different things and they take two different settings. Audacity > Preferences > Recording > [X] Software Playthrough (select). Audacity > Preferen...

You may be a candidate, at least in the interim, for the desperation method. Put a 1/8" stereo jumper cable... http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/stereoJumper.jpg Between the Headphone-Out (or Line-Out) and the blue Stereo Line-In. Tell the computer to play its sounds to the sound card regu...

You may be reading too much. I think you installed both the regular, high quality method, and the desperation method. The two methods run at slightly different speeds in the computer and that gives you the echo. I would not be using that cable between Headphone-Out and Mic-In. Those two are not dire...

As far as I know. Can you make it worse and does it ever change pitch? What happens if you don't run Serato and just make a straight recording from, say, the microphone? Post a sample of the sound here. http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=72887 You're using the UCA202 because your...
