Re: How to join recordings?

Will the recording atomatically continue from where I have left off,even though a flat line is showing.? No. If you get a flat line then Audacity is not receiving audio data.

The most important thing is that the recorded waveform should not touch the top or bottom of the track. As long as there is a bit of clear space above and below the loudest peaks of the waveform that should avoid any nasty clipping distortion.
