There's a trick to this and I don't remember what it is.. Searching. I am desperate! I hope not. It's not unusual for new readers to go through weeks of preparation and troubleshooting to get to a posting. The microphone makers love you to think you can put their microphone on the kitchen table, bre...

he used it to talk to me over skype. It would be good to know that earlier. So the Mac thinks everything is OK. Set the unit up normally and start or restart Audacity. Audacity checks for connections when it starts. Audacity (desktop toolbar) > Preferences > Devices > Recording > Device. Does the O...

MasteringMacro.txt Download it and slide into the Macros folder in your Audacity System Files. I have zero idea where that is on your machine. It's the same folder that has the Plugins folder...

The mixer might sorta do what you want. I see two references to transfering sound from the computer by optical, not USB.




So that's why the USB Send fails.

The three examples of successful overdubbing were done with USB sound devices.
