<<<I'm on an Intel MacBook running 10.5.8 and seeing this behavior.>>> With an Audacity that's not supported on your Mac? The jump to Intel/OS-X 10.5+ caused Audacity 1.2 to do a great many bad things -- to the point that it's no longer useful in addition to being old and no longer developed. If you...

Closer. What comes before the digital mixer? I'm trying to get you to tell me about the woman playing the guitar or singing, or both in front of a microphone. Most people consider "Live Recording" to be capturing a show from the internet. Real Live Recording techniques are Very Different f...
