This file illustrates why we should show "clip lines" for single samples at or above 0 dB.

What exactly are you trying to record?

but going Linux isn't going to give an order-of-magnitude speed-improvement on the same hardware You'll need to be using a recent version of Audacity or it will probably be an order of magnitude slower! Building Audacity on Debian based systems is pretty easy, so no reason to not have the latest ve...
