<<<Should I return my Numark?>>> It's up to you. Remember, this is a volunteer on a free software forum talking, but the USB interface on these things is causing all sorts of troubles. Is there an analog connection to your turntable? It's a couple of bucks to see how well it works using the analog p...

iTunes will not burn music to a disk. What. iTunes burns Playlists to a disk. You need to create a Playlist with your song in it and iTune should burn that will no trouble. File > New Playlist. When you see it created on the left, drag your music over to it. While it's selected: File > Burn Playlist...

Please tell me you have a deskside PC and not a laptop. If so, you appear to be over half-way there. It would be good to know the model number of the turntable so we can look it up. Take a powerful flashlight behind the computer and you may find really tiny writing on the sound card connections. You...

The reason neither Windows nor Audacity got rid of the _DATA folder and its contents is that it's not part of Audacity. It's part of your show(s). Audacity creates that folder when you Save Project As... . You can't have Windows destroy all your spreadsheets just because you deleted the Excel progra...

<<<Would seem to suggest Ion functioning fine.>>> Actually, it suggest to me that the ION is producing a damaged, off-standard audio bitstream and it's taking that long for the turntable and the Mac to get far enough out of step to fail. Everybody has those failures and the failure duration is alway...

Oh, we've had some go-arounds with this resulting in code change in some of the Audacity versions. Audacity doesn't Save audio files. It saves Projects which are clouds of closely associated production files--fast and efficient, but easily damaged and surprisingly surprising if that's not what you'r...

<<<the speakers.>>>

One other point. By "the speakers" you mean the 3/4 inch "High Fidelity," "Wide Range," "Extended," "Professional" speakers in your laptop, right?

Do you have either Hardware Playthrough or Software Playthrough selected in Audacity > Preferences > Audio I/O? That tool's job is to establish different audio pathways and if you don't know it's running, it can cause some mighty strange behavior. Also note that sometimes Audacity settings won't &qu...
