"Edit > Preferences > Audio I/O" and select "Play other tracks while recording new one"

Try pressing "Ctrl B" to create the label, then start typing (do not press anything else or click on anything between these two opperations).

Try using "Sound Mapper" and select your recording input using the Windows Mixer.

Ah, that changes things - you didn't mention that before. Can you post a screenshot to show what you mean by "it looks as if the wavepatterns have been cut off with a pair of scissors" so that I can see what you mean.

could you please tell me how to cutoff above 20kHz to at least -96 dB below? It's never bothered me before.

we;; it always happens to me try inserting your mic before opening audacity then open audacity after mic has been plugged in That sounds like it could be a good solution for some of those on-board sound devices that "auto detect" what you have plugged in. What sound card do you have? (USB...

Does it matter? Unless you are using instrumentation grade equipment throughout then noise introduced at -80 dB and at 20 kHz is not very significant, even if your hearing is good enough to detect it, which in the context of listening to music I very much doubt. For CD recordings it is certainly not...

so,what board i should post the matter like this? Probably "Audio Processing" - but if you think that another board is more suitable, pick that, but just stick with one board for one topic. If you get completely the wrong board, either on of the helpful moderators will let you know, or th...
