Audacity 1.3.14 has been superseded. The current version is 2.0.0 which you can get here: http://audacityteam.org/download/ Audacity 2.0.1 is due for release soon and includes better hot key support so it's worth keeping an eye open for its release (you can register at the bottom of this page if you...

Audacity is an audio recording/editing tool. It does not do audio library management.
I don't know what a "weka" is.

For external sound cards, recording the computer's own sounds in Audacity is generally not supported on Windows unless you use a loopback connector (connect a stereo audio lead from the line out to the line in).

Setting up the build environment on Linux is both quick and easy. The 6 steps given here are likely to be all that is required: http...

Install with all of the default options and if there are any error messages, make a careful note of what they say.

Yours has MID connections and USB sound, so that should work. Unfortunately not. I've just looked in the CA5 manual and the USB connection is: "for exchanging MIDI data". It is not USB "audio". To record the piano the "Line Out" jacks need to be connected to the "...

I regularly use Audacity in a professional audio environment, though not often for recording. For recording I generally use either an 8 channel hard disk recorder (Yamaha), or a Zoom H2 or occasionally a big ProTools machine. The Yamaha is good for up to 8 channels as it is virtually silent and has ...
