We progress. That microphone is the basis of the Radio Shack 3013 tie-tack microphone. Terrific microphone. We have many of them around the building to record training sessions and I've even used them for distributed sound services in videoconference sessions. When was the last time you changed the ...

Qualified yes. Audacity can record up to 16 tracks from any one sound device. The problem with most multi-track machines is they group every two tracks into one Stereo Device. Audacity will only recognize one of those at a time. That and Audacity will not work with the popular ASIO software drivers....

No, you sorta do. When you start plugging and unplugging USB services -- especially involving audio (or video) -- the computer can get confused which service is current, especially if there are conflicts.

While we figure out the file length problem, you can patch your drum hit with the "Silence" tool. Select the area after the hit that you don't want and Control-L. That will reduce the selected sound to dead silence. Tune as needed. It's Command-L on a Mac, so I think Control-L is correct o...

<<<Make or adapt a splitter cable so that all three pins are connected on one of the mini-jack plugs>>> Which puts you right back into Radio Shack Soldering and palm trees growing out of your head. About this "I can't use two microphones" thing. Why not? You put on the regular headset and ...
