To run Audacity on Vista, you need to follow these instructions: http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php? ... s_Vista_OS

If you are on Windows, you may not have actually unzipped it. Just opening the file with Windows does not unzip the whole thing, therefore links will be broken. Try using WinZip or IZArc to unzip it to a new folder, then it will work. (IZArc is similar to WinZip, but it's free).

Did you start a new project before you started recording? If not, it's possible that you had a certain length of time selected before you started and then Audacity would only record for the time selected.

The first thing is to make sure that you are not trying to record at too high a level. If the recording volume is too high, you will get distorted recordings. You can adjust the input level in the Windows Mixer. If you are using the "mic input", these are notoriously bad quality on most so...

The ion turntable can not play at 78 RPM (rotations per minute) but what you can do with Audacity is to record the 78 record into Audacity, then use Audacity to speed it up. The procedure is to record the track with the turntable playing at 45 rpm, then wit...
