If you have just connected a USB microphone, turntable or cassette player, see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_playback.html#usb . If that does not help, please tell us what version of Windows you have. On Vista and later you can select the default playback device in Windows Sound . Gale

If you are trying to record for a specific length of time, see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_recording_how_to_s.html#timer . If you have a selection in the track and Transport > Overdub is "on" then recordings will be limited to the length of the selection. If you want to retai...

I've attached a further copy of the remake.AUP that has references to all the AU files in your image. So the project should now open without missing audio block files. I don't know if this is a recording or an edited file, so the last eight blocks in the right-hand channel may not be in the correct ...

If you don't need the previous tracks to play when you record, try turning off Transport > Overdub. I have do tests by recording 1000Hz, and then I never heard an artefact? If so that could indicat...

Yes indeed, or anything else that can usefully done in the headers or metadata.

I appologize beacause I do not understand what is the built-in playback device. During a record of a new track, I read simultaneously an other one, and have tried the two possibilities I have: "Mappeur de son Microsoft - Output" and "Sigma Tel Audio" (the PC portable internal so...

The ability to label "silent" regions (region labels in "Silence Finder") would make the task much easier. On the other hand, this is a case where the ability to "invert labels" would be useful (replace existing labels with new labels in the non-labelled regions). Enha...

you might want to change tags and edit the audio at the same time. Perhaps I'm missing something. If you want the export process to be interactive, why would you want it in a Chain? If this feature was added, there would be a high risk of breaking existing user Chains. (it would be extremely annoyi...
