let's think to a more complex scenario, like multitracking from four different sources: two vocals from two separate mics plus a guitar from two mics in XY stereo configuration. When it comes to mixing may I work with mono and stereo tracks? Please forgive the dumb question, I'm sitll at year Zero ...

1) Record in mono.
2) Pan the track however you like, or leave it centred.

I have downloaded, as requested, 2.1.2 unfortunately however I am unable to locate USB Audio CODEC under the Device Toolbar Try restarting Audacity with the turntable already connected and recognised by Windows.

Try resetting Preferences completely by 1) Close Audacity 2) delete the audacity.cfg file (http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/preferences.html#reset) 3) Restart Audacity. To be 100% precise, Steve meant Quit Audacity there. Exactly what keyboard are you using and how does it connect to the computer...

DVDdoug correctly analyzed this problem. The 32-bit WAV file was somewhat over 4GB. Choosing 16-bit output created a smaller file, which played properly. Deleting some of the initial audience noise also reduced the file size enough to stay under the 4GB limit. Perhaps Audicity could check for this ...

Thanks Peter. I'll give RC2 or RC3 a try when I have some time, hopefully this weekend, and report back. If I see the problem, I'll shoot a 20 second video or so and post it to Youtube to see. Thanks but there is no need to bother, unless it is the only way to describe what you mean by "fidget...

"Application" is like a "program" on older Windows. "Folder" is sometimes also referred to as a "directory". Did you install Audacity to one or more "Audacity" folders in /Applications? If so, open each of those folders in turn. Open Finder > Prefere...

Reinstalling Audacity never resets its settings on Mac. If you want to reset settings, quit Audacity, open Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder and type or paste: ~/Library/Application Support/audacity/ In the "audacity" folder, delete the "audacity.cfg" file. You don't need FFmpeg o...
