Audacity Forum

I have my usb turntable connected to a pre amp and the pre amp is connected via usb to the computer.

I just got a new computer and have installed the newest version of audacity 2.x on it (I was running the older one 1.x).

I finally figured it out. Thanks so much for your help and time.
