Audacity Forum

There is a way to do this, but it may not always be as helpful as you think. Audacity > Edit > Preferences > Recording > [X] Playthrough > OK. Yes, that's useful if you're recording a turntable or cassette machine, but not if you're overdubbing or recording a live microphone. Even if you're routing...

How can I listen to the input; after hitting the "click to start monitoring" button, the meter scales show the input signal but there is no output signal. The input can be recorded and played back but how can I listen to the input signal. Why isn't there a "monitoring" reference in the index?

I would but I can see a "solved" button anywhere.

Thank you.

I did that, downloaded the zip file with included help, but when I use the help tab the manual always opens the internet version. Since I'm not always connected, I would prefer to have the manual on my disk drive.

How do I download the local Quick Help and Manual.
