I presume that is a typo.

Please post the full information from "Audio device info".

It appears that when plugged into your laptop, you are recording from the "earbuds" rather than from the "microphone". That is quite possible because headphones are much the same as "dynamic microphones" but working in reverse. This will happen if the wiring of the plug...

Hi Kelson, Thanks for the reminder. Unfortunately this patch seems to have fallen under the radar and it is now too late for Audacity 2.1.2. This is partly understandable because there have been some big updates to Audacity's internals (updating WxWidgets from 2.8 to 3) which has required a great de...

The problem with low recording volumes is related to Audacity: Not so. In the case of USB turntables, it is a generic problem with many of the cheaper brands. The manufacturers purposefully set the level low so that the turntable can handle loud modern pressing (and there is no user adjustment, whi...

Do you have "Phantom power" turned on?
The AT2020 requires 48v phantom power - if it's not on, turn down the level on the Audiobox before you switch it on.

I suspect that what themickster might be looking for is a "Paste Over" command (to complement the current "Paste Insert" command). I can see uses for such a feature, but also anticipate that it would bring lots of support questions along the lines of "Why do I get clicks whe...

It's very difficult to get this perfect because the timbre of the note changes as it decays and it's very difficult to create that timbre change convincingly. A couple of things that you can try: 1) Select the tail end of the natural fade-out and use "Sliding Time scale / Pitch Shift" to s...

If you make a "selection" in a track before you paste, then the pasted material will replace whatever was selected. So, if you make a selection that is exactly the same size as the audio that you are pasting, then the pasted material will fit exactly into the selected space and audio to th...
