It's possible to have Stereo Mix selected and still not have a good recording. If nothing on our wiki page helps... http://wiki.audac...

OK. Working down the list. Intel MacMini OS-X 10.6.8 Audacity 1.3.13. Built-In Input and Built-In Output. The Music CD makes the System Preferences meter jump and Audacity monitoring mode works. Audacity and Mac volume controls track each other and both work. The "headphone" output connect...

Yes, it has effects send and effects return. However, the room where the mixer lives is short on operator space. There is a tiny table next to the operator's knees big enough to place the mixer with the headphones underneath. No racks and no space for rack mount equipment. Maybe I could wrap it in b...

Did you start using Skype or other telephone on the internet programs? Many of them mess with your internal sound settings.

How are you getting the work out of your machine? Just to cover the bases, I would make a recording of anything at all with all the required equipment connected and working and the expected show length. Leave a microphone laying on the floor listening to the cats. Anything. The object is to make sur...
