Audacity Forum

I can record what I'm playing and hear it, but I can't hear it while I'm playing it. You mean that you can hear it after it has been recorded but not while it is being recorded? Plug headphones into the Pod and monitor it directly. That's the only way that you can get zero latency monitoring. (with...

In recent versions of Audacity it is possible to disable different types of plug-ins. Click-Track is a Nyquist plug-in, so if Nyquist plug-ins are disabled in Preferences it will not show up in the menu. (Edit menu > Preferences > Effects)

Since it's my first "serious" mic it would be better to have more options available, A more versatile option would be to get a USB microphone pre-amp and a conventional (non-USB) microphone. Most USB pre-amps have 2 microphone inputs which can be very useful (for example, using a close up...

We don't usually recommend alpha versions, but we're making an exception this time because a) the cu...

Overdub, however, *is* enabled. That is required so that you can hear other tracks if you are recording another track in a multi-track project. It should not cause a problem. I like your workaround with the pause! It's better than nothing, but long term we should figure out how to make portaudio st...

Labelling is much improved in 1.3.x He is using 1.3.x (see first post) - he's just posted in the 1.2.x part of the forum. I'll move the topic when we've got this resolved. My impression from reading the manuals was that I could do that, though I didn't see anyplace that explicitly said it. Very clo...

If you need to monitor the microphone input through the headphones you must use "Software Playthrough" (as there is no direct hardware route between the microphone and the sound card) but this has a major drawback of being slow. Thus the monitored sound is delayed before you hear it. On Au...
