Re: Discrepancy in zoomed display of the region and of cuts

This is what it would look like with Snap To: enabled, and the dots marking the centre of the sample periods. snap-to-centre-dot.png It "looks" very nice and neat, but I think it is misleading. It definitely gives the impression that the sample times are where the dots are, but they are no...

Re: Discrepancy in zoomed display of the region and of cuts

And do I assume by the same logic that mouse clicks in the audio track would "snap to the dots" as now, so would now snap in-between sample periods rather than at sample times? If that's what you wanted, then I don't see any technical reason why not, though I could also see complaints tha...

Re: Incorrect Cables?

"internal microphone" is the microphone built into the computer.
"Headphone" is where sound comes out through headphones.
You need an input - if your computer does not have one then you will need to get a USB audio device that does have inputs (such as a Behringer UCA 202)

Re: Need help with recording a bass guitar

The other thing you can do is get a microphone plugged into your PC and record the sound coming from your amp. Personally I prefer to record guitars and bass guitars with a mic, but not plugged directly into a typical computer mic input (they are usually between mediocre and appalling quality), but...

Re: Need help with recording a bass guitar

Plugging a bass guitar into a microphone input is unlikely to work well. You would do better plugging into a proper "instrument" input, such as one of these: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/UCG102.aspx Note - there are also some cheap Chinese copies of this device - don't be tempted -...

Re: Incorrect Cables?

Check the record settings in the Windows Sound Control Panel. Is there a "Line In" option?
What settings are available as recording inputs in the Device Toolbar?

Re: Zoom Tool

You need to switch back to the "Selection Tool".

On Windows/Linux you can change to the Selection tool with the F1 key - it may be the same on a Mac.

Re: cutting and removing sections, etc

Ensure that playback is "Stopped". Most functions are disabled when in Record, Playback or Pause. Also be aware that if your recording has a sample rate of 44100 Hz or higher, 15 hours is too long to save successfully as an Audacity project. Ensure that you Export your work as an ordinary ...

You mean 22 minutes and 46.29 seconds, and the Audacity track is 0.04 seconds too short? Is that a problem?
