You can use a UCA-202 between the mixer or preamp and the computer. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/peaveyUCA202Lenovo.jpg It does very well and it's usually far better than built-in sound cards. This is under re-write, so ignore the typos and bad sentences. http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity...

There's a YouTube video out there that tells you how to do this with just a normal Mac, but he's recording the Mac speakers and the quality isn't all that great. You could try that.

Here's one: Call Recorder for Mac.

Yes. If you're willing to use the bubbling skipping Skype sound, then there are software packages (other than Audacity) that can record Skype for post production -- in Windows. Nobody ever asked about doing this in Mac-land. On Windows, Total Recorder can be used and Pamela software is very good. I ...

Do the rest of the icons move out of the way and the new one just doesn't "stick?"

From Applications, Control click on Audacity and make alias. Drag the alias to the desktop. Now drag it to the dock.

Did you save the receipts? Everybody knows these things are throw-away turntables. Play your last record and put the whole thing in the trash can.

Yes. You should not be using any analog connections at all. If you connect the USB from the turntable to the computer, it should show up in the Audacity drop-down menus. You can select it there. There are no volume controls with this service. If it doesn't arrive, you should go into Windows Control ...

Try unplugging the turntable and play it again. Sometimes Windows likes to record your turntable and then play the sound back to it, which is clearly not going to work.
