What are you trying to record and how are you trying to record it?
What operating system?
What sort of sound card?

There are several ways to split large audio files. One way is to create "splits" at various points (click on the waveform where you want the split, then press Ctrl+i ). When you have made all the splits that you require, select one of the sections by double clicking in it so that it become...

Turn off "Software Playthrough" (Transport menu), then configure your sound card to play the input back out through your headphones. Note that this is only possible if the same audio device (sound card) is used for both recording and playback and even then, not all sound cards provide this...

I'm using the names "sub-menu 1/2/3" rather than actual names because the actual names are to be decided. The "cascade" would be the same depth as now. "Main" menu items being "File, Edit, View, Transport, etc" "Sub-menus" being one level below: Exam...

Thanks Gale, I guessed that it would be something like that. "49 out of 50 such posts are spam" makes it tricky to spot the 1 out of 50 that isn't. I'll raise this on the moderators list to see if we can make improvement here. Thanks Mark, glad that is cleared up. The Audacity community is...
