I'll bet the pads have some sort of Personal Recorders available. I know the iPhone does and I believe the latest Touch variations have one, too. Streaming may be a little ambitious unless you know it works and have actually tried it. One of the problems with live recording is historic. There is a s...

it appears i have to do this each time i open audacity as the default is for this mic box to be unticked. It's possible that Audacity itself is resetting that "for you." Open Audacity Preferences > Recording and make sure what you want is selected there as well. Restart Audacity if you ch...

There is also the uncomfortable prospect that if it's old enough, your sound card may no longer be supported. This is the down side of continuing to update an older machine.

Audacity has no problem with files at 48000. The test files on my web site are at 48000. That's the video sound standard. 44100 is the Music CD standard. How do you know the downloaded files are MP3? A lot of the newer stuff isn't. Do you have Windows set to stop hiding file extensions (highly recom...

Windows comes out of the box all ready for business conferencing and communications, not theatrical performances. Sometimes you can get caught in the Windows auto gain control and echo cancellation. Windows Enhanced Sound http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=41179&start=0 Koz

Noise Gate only works when there's a fairly high difference in volume between the trash and the performance. As they get closer and closer together, they get harder and harder to separate.
