OK. That's a good one. The lame libraries are there, Audacity can open and use them, but they don't seem to work right. Fascinating. Let's break the process in the middle and see which half fails. Download both of these sound clips, export them both as MP3, one at a time, and see what happens. http:...

You are probably recording from Window's output rather than one of the inputs. It may be called "What You Hear" on your machine or "Output Mix." Whatever it is, you can change it by beating up the Windows Control Panel. http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mixer_Toolbar_I...

<<<My first goal is to get rid of the huge bottom end bass echo>>> Oh, I'd fix that one first. If you can't put a decent sound signal into your machine and get it back out again exactly like it went in, you probably have Windows Control Panels set wrong. This happens to everybody on Windows because ...

Windows is getting better by peeling off the hundreds of different oddball and confusing sound options that can get you into trouble (see: Windows Audacity forum).

Next time you edit or create a song you like, don't bother Saving it. That just creates a complicated Audacity Project and lots of confusion. Instead Export As Wav... or Export As MP3... . Either of those will give you one single sound file that you can listen to anywhere or email to your mum. WAV i...

They warn you to try and keep a plug-in sound card as far away from everything else as possible. The inside of a PC is a terrible place for sound equipment and most sound cards aren't shielded. So following that, if your sound services are built-in, you might move your other cards around and see if ...

Maybe not. Try getting it to work in Windows own audio program.

Windows Sound Recorder
Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Entertainment

It could also be good to know which Windows.

<<<This worked earlier and I am sure I must have changed something. >>> This could be a little exotic. Did you try to move or change your AUP Project file? Did you mess with or move anything associated with the _DATA folder? The first two AU files inside the _DATA folder draw the waveforms on the sc...

In addition, Audacity Hates USB turntables. Since you're on a Mac, you can go the analog route.
