<<<what i was recording along to>>>

What were you playing along to and where was it coming from?

I'm not ignoring you. I have to find time to set one of the machines up with a similar configuration and then see what happens. My guess is that PlayThrough doesn't automatically toggle. You either have it running or not. That makes it a feature that doesn't fit with what you want, neither broken no...

<<<Not really worth it for a free program, doncha think?>>> I don't think anything. It depends on your goal. There is a posting on here of someone producing his own musical performances with a budget of $0.00 His choices are get Audacity to work or have no show. The problem is clearly not Audacity. ...

Windows Media and I have had an adversarial relationship ever since it destroyed some valuable sound files I had. Windows Media and MP3s also have an interesting relationship. Microsoft has built into Windows Media some measure of Media Management. When you "upgrade" your WMP, most of the ...

<<<Am I going to like this song>>> The unanswerable question. "Does this dress make me look fat?" If this is what you can afford, then this is what you use. The setups for Audacity claim multi-tracks and I've seen illustrations with at least four tracks on the screen at the same time. Do y...

Files, Filters, and Tools almost never come down from their web site uncompressed or unprotected. What is the exact name of the filter? Did you have to process it in StuffIt Expander after you downloaded it? If you have a file like "something.sit," then you need to un-stuff it before you u...
