If CPC don't have them you'll probably need to make one.

Re: Can't record in stereo (Windows XP/Samson Q1U mic)

Re: What files did Audacity 1.3.12 recover?

Audacity 1.3.12 is pretty thorough with its automatic recovery and will generally recover everything that is recoverable. The down side of that is that if parts are missing then it's pretty certain that they are not recoverable. Do you have any idea what may have triggered the crash?

Re: Win 7 crash.

I think we've gone as far as we can with this as it seems to be a compatibility problem between the advanced driver and your system. At least you are now able to record without crashing. Thanks for trying out all of the options and posting your results - it could save a lot of time for other users.

Try checking these settings and say which items you need to change or anything that is not as described. Disconnect all USB devices except for your mouse and reboot the computer. Connect ONE of the USB tape players and WAIT for Windows to recognise and connect to it. Right-click over the speaker ico...

Select the tracks that you want to mix (Ctrl+A to select All tracks)
Then Ctrl+SHIFT+M to mix to a new track.
