Re: Empty gaps that I can't delete or truncate

Left mouse button click on the bold line on the right of that "gap". Note that it's not really a gap. It's just a "split" separating two adjacent audio clips. Digital audio is just a series of discrete "sample" points. The line that joins the dots does not exist in the ...

Re: Recording problem

Does Audacity have permission to use your microphone? Windows requires this for any recording, regardless of whether you are recording with a microphone or recording anything else.
