OK, since you have Audacity 1.2.6, did you use the "safe solution" for resetting Audacity preferences as described in that link?
Do you still have the .reg file?

Re: input source

SoundFlower gives you some of the tools that Windows Mix-Out or What U Hear used to before Windows took it out. "Stereo Mix" is still available for many Windows users (up to and including Vista and possibly also Windows 7 but I've not used Windows 7). The reason that it is sometimes not a...

Re: Leveller effect adds distortion

Yes, or at least something very similar. In contrast, the leveller produces a huge amount of harmonic distortion. This effect has more in common with "soft clipping" than it does with "dynamic compression" (in the traditional sense). But as Bill pointed out, the "standard&qu...

Re: Leveller effect adds distortion

The Leveller effect differs from a hard limiter in that there is just one threshold and that is the "noise floor" setting (default -70dB). ALL waveforms above this threshold are distorted to a lesser or greater extent according to their amplitude. As Koz has described in the previous messa...

Re: recording halfway through a track

Audacity will only record into the selection region and stop recording when it reaches the end of the selection if "Play other tracks while recording new one" is enabled in Preferences (also done by enabling "Overdub" in the Transport menu in 1.3.9). Ah yes, so it does - and tha...
