Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a problem with my unit specifically. However it does record 44/24 on a widows xp machine.
So you are saying it won't be fixed for 1.2, or at all? Would it be possible to record 44/24 when 1.4 comes out?

Hey Steve Yes I've tried that. Its the sample rate of 24bit thats causing the crash. I've tried 48/16, 44/16, and they both work. As soon as I move the sample rate to 24, than restart the program, it will crash when I hit record. I tried it on my PC, and it works, it does not work on my Mac. My sett...

I thought answered the questions you asked, but you didn't really answer mine this time I cannot record at 44100 Hz with a 24 bit sample rate without the program crashing on me. I did delete the preferences file for audacity twice now, and have gone through the sound settings on my mac but everythin...

I don' t think its a usb problem because the same thing happens when I go directly line in from my mixer (rca out on my mixer to 1/8" mic in on my macbook). As soon as I change the sample depth to 16, it doesn't crash. Its not a USB issue. I am recording live mixes. What should check in my settings ...

Bring on the heartbreak. I changed my settings from system preferences on my mac for my fasttrack pro to record at 48 KHZ, Sample Rate 24, as I was advised to do so, I than changed the settings in audacity to record at 44khz, with a default sample rate of 24-bit. As soon as I closed the screen, and ...

I plugged the RCA->1/4" cables into an m-audio fasttrack pro, I took my macbook and opened audacity, and put the input device as the fasttrack. Checked to see if the sound from my mixer was registered, started recording and there it went. No shutdowns, just straight recording. Only thing is was afte...

Had my first recording today. Everything went pretty smooth. I recorded a 19 minute mix, in 48/16 2 Channel Stereo, and the file size saved as 205mb, is that normal? Also, there was static distortion throughout the mix. I could hear the track, but when the bass would hit, it would sound like static....

thanks for the info.
i'll try recording this weekend and let you know how it sounds.
Can you tell me which are the best settings for recording
I wanted to do high quality .wav file and than compress it to mp3 later

But many people have successfully used Audacity and this M-Audio unit, are you saying its not possible to make it work? I thought it was possible. Any recommended mp3 exporters than? I downloaded this version of Audacity: http://audacityteam.org/download/mac The one labeled Mac OSX Intel - Audacity ...

Thanks I made a folder called audacity on my desktop, dragged all the uncompressed files into there, and put that in my applications, than I moved the audacity app to the dock. But I don't understand what you're saying about the maudio unit. When I want to record a mix, I was planning on using this ...
