Sorry, you are right it is MME not New Musical Express. I think my laptop has Vista but it still has MME and will not record me if I use (bear with me I might spell this wrong) WASAPI instead of MME I am a translator, which is why I am seem to be on my computer all the time, by the way. I am not a c...

Well, the strange thing is, I can record sound from the click track or the Internet when WASAPI is enabled but I have to turn it back to MME to record myself and my instruments!

I don't know if this will help anybody. Fiddling around with Audacity on my laptop today, I went into Edit, preferences, devices and changed MME to WASAPI and then (for the "recording" box at the bottom) I changed Scarlett in (Scarlett is my interface appliance) to Scarlett out). I can now record my...

Thanks, I will bear that in mind.

I understand. But I am bit obsessive. When I started using Audacity a year or so back I didn't know anything about latency. I thought it was just like a tape recorder. So I couldn't understand why I could play in time with myself. Then when my son also pointed out my being out of synch I started usi...

Thanks a lot for your help. I just tried my laptop and the overdub facility is on but it still will not record the click track, so I guest I will have to use the headphones. How much latency do you reckon is tolerable if I am doing so many overdubs, do you think?

Thanks for your time

Well, I am sorry to have wasted your time. I was listening to the click track through headphones but when recording the click track I took them off. In fact the click track wasn't playing as Audacity was recording. I tried to record something else off the Internet. It recorded. So I looked at all th...

The problem is Audacity will not record the click track anymore. I looked at the link you sent me and the reference to the click track is exactly what I do. The settings look the same to me so something have been reset in installing the new version of the program!

Thank you very much for your reply. I use two inputs, via the Scarlett interface, to play mandolin, acoustic guitar, bass guitar and sing (sometimes with harmonies). I plug my mandolin and bass into one put with a lead and record the acoustic guitar and my voice through the mic in the other input. W...

Help please. I have Audacity installed on my desktop and on my laptop. Prior to installing the new version a couple of weeks ago, I used to adjust the latency by opening the click track and then recording the click track. I could use the resulting recording to measure the line length using the featu...
