Audacity Forum

As far as I know, it would be legal in the UK from a copyright point of view, as long as the person receiving the copy owns the original, and as long as only one copy is being made and it is not being played publicly. (I am assuming that this would still come under UK law "fair usage" term...

There's a couple more suggestions in this post: http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5049#p19968 Depending on what you are wanting to do, there are other advantages to using a mixer - namely that you can use it with other things as well as a microphone (instruments, CD players, etc...

Make sure that you have plenty of free space on your hard drive - if you run short of space Audacity will crash, as will most programs, but working with audio can eat up disk space at an alarming rate.

You should be OK with 10 GB free space, but you will need to keep a close eye on how much is available - editing large projects can use up space at an alarming rate and running out of space will cause Audacity (and most other programs) to crash very badly. Also, keep an eye on fragmentation - you ma...

@ Mason Try running from batteries first - that is a common cause. @ CE49 Go into the Windows Mixer (the loudspeaker icon near the clock) and find the RECORD settings. Make sure that ALL recording inputs are visible and turn down the level on each one (or mute them) to find where the noise is coming...
