The settings depend on what I am doing. For quick and rough recordings (rehearsals) I use VBR. For high quality recording I use CD quality WAV.
I edit with Audacity of course.

MP3 encoding will automatically downsample audio to a lower bit rate if the original is in a higher bit rate than the compression setting support.
The highest quality MP3 format is "320kbps CBR" which is excellent quality, but still lower quality than a 48kHz 16 bit WAV file.

Use SHIFT+R to resume recording.

It would help if we knew what operating system you are using.
I'll guess.... Windows Vista

Typically USB sound cards do not support this, but it is also true of some other types of s...

Ah yes, if you can harness ASIO, then you are in with more of a chance. Audacity does not support ASIO by default due to licensing restrictions, but it is possible to build Audacity with ASIO support.

George13 is correct, the function you require is available in Audacity 1.3. If you really want to pay for a program to do it, see here: http://audacityteam.org/community/donate#donate
