Re: Randomly stops recording

I got nothin'.

If you have two capture programs running at the same time on the same computer, I would expect one of them to misbehave. I think what you have now is normal (which is why you can't fix it) and what you had then was an accident.

Re: Beginner needs help!

I'm not making it up. The forum is full of people trying to do what you want to do with their favorite song. You are the first poster to arrive with the music already split up. You win.

Re: Version 1.2.6

Unless you're on a Mac, in which case it's... Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input Make sure the internal microphone is selected and the sound meter jumps when you speak.

Re: Recording Multiple Tracks Simultaneously

Nope. Audacity sees one USB connection as one Sound Device. Audacity only supports one.

The up side to all this is Audacity directly supports up to 16 tracks of audio if you can figure out a way to get them into and out of the computer.

Re: Replacement Needle

Contact the manufacturer. Don't bet the farm on finding one. You bought a throw-away turntable. I recently paid for a cartridge and stylus for my high-end turntable what you paid for the whole turntable. People sometimes post here when their throw-away turntable needs throwing away a little too soon...
