"Audacity for dummies answers".

What can I do to stop the delay? That was the post. These three solutions will absolutely stop the delay. If you're going to go on to do complex multi-track, overdubbing and sound on sound, yes, then you do have to make one straightforward Audacity adjustment (Latency) after which that, too, comes ...
