Trichord Research Dino phono stage. One of those will slide right into the Line-In of a Mac or a deskside PC. No further fuss. If you want much better performance on the PC, then yes, you need the analog to digital converter. I note that the ad for the phono stage claims variable gain..... A quick t...

<<<inputs to the mixer then into a G5 Mac>>>

The mixer? I'm still holding my Visa credit card wondering what to buy so my setup is the same as yours. Lot of mixers out there and they connect differently and have different problems. Rupert-Neve? FireWire, right?

Most people complain about importing MP3s. They're not MP3s. Audacity knows about those. You have a highly compressed audio file that Audacity has no idea how to manage, but it tries anyway.

So you're doing what I do, get a stereo AUX feed from the big studio mixing desk and plug it into the side of the Mac with Audacity running as a straight record from Line-In. Piece of cake.

<<<I have tried uninstalling (removing all traces of the program) and that does not seem to be of any help.>>> You may not have caught the Preference File. Search your machine for audacity.cfg. Audacity 1.2 tried to save preferences in the Dreaded Windows Registry, but 1.3 learned its lesson and use...

It should have suggested that the mic setting should be the only thing you have turned on. Everything else goes off. Windows has settings for "What You Hear" or "Mix Out". I think there's a third one I can't remember. All of those should be turned off. Mix Out is the setting you ...

OK, so you got an adapter to plug that microphone into the Mic-In of your PC's sound card. Lots of people do that. Heck, I do that when nobody's looking. Do you have the Windows Sound Panel volume controls associated with that microphone turned up? You can launch Audacity and click once inside the r...
