I guess I think that I can record one track at a time - does it mix tracks automatically? Yes. I imported the first file and edited it, etc. Have you tried F5 to enable Time Shift Tool? You can then click and drag each music import to where you want it on the timeline. If you want to make space wit...

Maybe you didn't read my question carefully? Actually I read it several times. It was very unclear to me. But I still think you are recording the music with your reading, when you want to record only your reading, right? If so then you need to do what I suggested. To check what audio a track contai...

I would try either disabling iSight ( http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23346/isight-disabler ) or reinstall 10.9.3.

All the posts online about corrupted Color Sync Profiles suggest reinstalling OS X as the best solution.

I am trying to make a recording where reading is interchanged with musical excerpts (not simultaneously). I record my first excerpt, but it activates the empty audio track below it and puts the music onto both. I need to have SEPARATE audio tracks and cannot find how to separate them (NOT separatin...

You need to select the microphone as your recording device. Also you need to change the "Host" (first box in Device Toolbar) to MME or Windows DirectSound. Windows WASAPI is currently only available for recording computer playback (and typically the stream needs to be playing before the r...

I did not record the test tone in the same manner as vinyl. The tone is generated by Audacity, and I don't know the my sound card is even involved in the process. No cables are used, nor is any control used to adjust the recording level. Then you didn't record the tone. You generated it, but then d...

Prior to the autoconf change, Audacity would pick up both the shipped plug-ins and built modules from within the source code tree. Now it doesn't. (Debian). And on Ubuntu it does pick up the plug-ins and modules if I put the binary back in the top level of the tree. Do you agree? Remind me, what wa...

Right-click over the speaker icon by the system clock, then choose "Recording Devices" so you can see what devices Windows recognises. If that USB microphone array is not the Ion device, disconnect it. Follow all the steps in the green box "Detecting USB and Firewire devices" her...

@Trebor Audacity does not ship with a de-esser so which plug-in do you recommend? Lisp or Spitfish ?
