The "Stable" version has been through all the platform testing and all of most of the obvious bugs and instabilities have been worked out. Keep in mind all that happened two operating system upgrades ago. So 1.2 in most cases is not running on the same computers with which it was tested. T...

Missed a step. If you're an Audacity Newby, you need to know that if you launch Audacity and click once in the red record meters, they will wake up in what you know as E-E mode and meter the input without you rolling tape, er, going into record.

You set the Mac line level in Preferences. Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Input. That's the main Mac volume control and the meter is digital peak with about a 40 dB range. Given that consumer "0" VU is about-12 peak and most music peaks about 8-10 dB over that, music peaks...

They will be far better to answer questions about cfg-path-lib-pkg files and compiling tech...

I'm trying to get you to tell me what we have to fix. It's no good standing at the very end of the pipe and complaining about the result. Most times--especially with sound--it's far better to catch the error before it becomes serious.

Well, heck, that's your problem.

OK, so close everything, put the CD into your computer and let the CD player launch and play the disk. Does it sound normal if you do that? If you have a really tiny sound system, plug the headphones in.

Koz

What is the sound device? USB Turntable? It doesn't give you that error if you're recording from the computer internal services.
