3. Wait a few moments
4. "File menu > Exit"

If it does exist, are you able to write to it? (Can you create a new file there?)

Do you know what format drive C:\ is? (The default for Windows 10 is "NTFS").

All other daws (Ableton, Cubase) see them without any additional tweaking. They are probably accessing the device via ASIO drivers. Audacity cannot ship with ASIO support due to licensing issues, so you have the choice between MME, DirectSound, and WASAPI. In Windows 10, "DirectSound" is ...

Unfortunately, I'm really bad at math and I don't have any experience with spreadsheets... I could try and learn though...

This is for a live performance which I need to record. Audacity is not suitable for this. For live use, I would highly recommend a hardware looper (such as a Boss Loop-Station). If you really must use a PC, then I'd recommend installing Linux and Sooperlooper . (When using a PC for live work, it sh...
