Hi it only gives me the choices of 'Properties If I click on the Advanced button, it only gives me "Tone Control" sliders. Soooo.........I'm lost about this part You want to click in the properties button not the advanced. Then you should be able to see the options as in the link provided by alathan...

Is it solved already?: I think so, most of the problems i had i think can be attributed to the sound card. I purchased the behringer UCA 202 as a cheap replacement and so far i have not had any major latency or "anti latency" problems but i havent had a lot of time to play with audacity lately (Hav...

Do you have "software playthrough" turned off in the preferences (should be in the same area as play other tracks while recording new one)? I think if this is turned on then when you record a new track it doubles up and sounds all crazy which may be your problem. Im not 100% on this so hopefully som...

Hi, Can you clarify your enquiry a bit. I am trying to download a MP3 karaoke file into Audacity Did you manage to do this successfully (Import Mp3)? Does the track sound ok when you play it back before you try to put vocals on it? trying to add a vocal to the previously recorded track Audacity wont...

Any suggestions I just used a 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo cable and went from the headphone output on the tape player to the line in on my computer.

Mic placement depends on what you want really, The sound will change depending on where the mic is. e.g if you place the mic in a far corner of the room then you are more likely to get a "roomy" sound with a natural reverb of sorts (depending if you got carpet or floorboards or very reflective walls...

you can just save one copy of the song with all the tracks in it, then delete the tracks you dont want (vocals) then "save as" a different file name, ie song no vox, then export this to mp3. This way you will have 2 songs saved essentially the same but one without vocals. You would then have 2 files...

Thanks Steve, I presume you are using Windows? XP? Yes this is correct, I'm not sure how you have the UCA202, your mds4, and your speakers connected (what inputs to what outputs) - could you clarify this Ok, i have further had a play around and there are 3 ways i can output from my 4track to the UCA...
