Audacity Forum

My input for the mixer is not shown. It is greayed out. I want to reocrd via line in and I can only reocord using the mic? You're missing a lot of info there... Operating System? Audacity versino? Recording device? How do you have it all connected? What is greyed out? Where? You can select the reco...

Is this a common issue with cheap audio cards? I'd say it's not uncommon... DC offset is usually quite harmless though and easy to correct. I just checked on my macbookpro and there's no dc offset neither on the built-in line-in nor on the built-in mic. Also tested my desktop computer ('normal' pc ...

What you're doing wrong is using audacity 1.2.x with windows 7.

Upgrade to 1.3.12. You can get it from here: http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_windows

Everything sounds fine as long as I don't hit record....

I tried to reproduce this. I created a project with one minute long track and many small stereo tracks with like 2 or 3 seconds each. I'm not sure how many tracks I had, but it were plenty! I tried to play it back. It didn't crash, but it practically froze my mac for a few minutes until I was able t...

That raised another question on my mind... is there a way to know how many tracks there are in a project other than counting them 1 by 1?

Yes... 90 tracks can be quite a bit...

Audacity does not auto-update... Koz wasn't talking about Audacity, he was talking about the apple updates to the system, etc...

Logitech usb desktop mics are regarded as pretty decent for the price, but don't expect studio quality audio... USB audio interface is, as the name suggests, an interface. In other words it's a piece of equipment that allows you to connect one equipment to another one... in this case a mic to the co...
