For Vista we always recommend Audacity 1.3 rather than the old 1.2 version. In Audacity, go to "Edit menu > Preferences > Audio I/O" What options do you have selected for the recording and playback devices? What other options are available? Be sure to connect your USB microphone before you...

<<<I heard EAC is better.>>> Did you hear how it managed to be better? It has excellent error checking routines among other things, so as long as the CD is not badly damaged you can virtually guarantee bit perfect copies.

Audacity can record from some ...

I only seem to be able to have either my mics being abl...
