Have you looked in the Windows Control Panel and checked if you have a balance control, as I suggested before? I tried this. On my desktop the balance control on the Windows Volume Control is permanently greyed, don't know why. On my laptop it works, but when I ran Audacity and switched on micropho...

You could add Equalization (configured to use your preset) to a "Chain", import the files then apply the Chain to the current project ( http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/ba ... ssing.html ).

If you make AudioFire default recording device in Windows ( http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php? ... ssues#xpcp ) does Windows Sound Recorder (sndrec32.exe) record from it?

Have you tried increasing "Audio to Buffer" in the Audacity Recording Preferences?

I'd not actually noticed until I read your post, but I presume that it is by design, and I'd imagine that it is what most people would want. I had not noticed either, but the behaviour changed in 1.3.14, and isn't intended and wasn't discussed, so in that sense it's a bug. It also means the Manual ...

If the retake is too loud or too soft, drag-select the retake and Effect > Amplify. Just hitting OK on Amplify makes the selection as loud as it can be. See http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/amplify.html . If a plosive is in the selection that looks like a spike you may not be able to amplify ver...

Please read the Manual to see where the audacity.cfg settings file is: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/preferences.html#stored . You can make a copy of audacity.cfg using Explorer if you name the .cfg file backup to some other name. If you need to restore the .cfg file, quit Audacity first then...
