You will probably need to use headphones rather than speakers so as to avoid feedback, then set the Windows Mixer ( http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mixer_Toolbar_Issues ) to record "Stereo Mix" (May also be called "Mix" or "What U Hear"). The exact set-up d...

I would suggest that purchasers of this package such take maximum use of their 24 hour customer support, and tell all your friends how great Audacity is.

Jan is referring to using a "Time" track. (If you posted on the board relevant to your OS and version of Audacity I could have told you how to create a new time track, but it's different in different versions). Using the "Envelope Tool" you can adjust the time track which will th...

Don't try pushing it beyond -3dB because you will probably get the occ...

The analogue output is stereo, And I presume that you mean that both channels are coming out at reasonably matched volume levels? Assuming the above is true, then the cartridge etc. are ok, so we are looking at the USB interface and the Vista sound system. BTW, are you using a Laptop or a full size...

how do you loop a track while recording a new one? You don't, or at least you don't do it like that in Audacity. If you want an audio clip to repeat (and it can repeat continuously for the duration of the track), select the audio clip and select "Repeat" from the Effects menu. Enter the n...
