Replying to Private Message from Edward 1 I tried your solutions.... Under preferences for directories it showed C:\Users\Edward_2\AppData\Local\Audacity\SessionData. A similar file under check dependencies said no such file existed and did I want to create one? No, it did not ask if you wanted to ...

What I do is record my own end of the convo in Audacity Is your recording mono or stereo? then import the Pamela stereo recording. I sync up the two tracks containing my own voice, break the Pamela stereo recording into two How exactly do you break the Pamela stereo recording into two? and throw ou...

On Windows, Audacity can use Microsoft's built-in system for recording computer playback. OS X as shipped does not allow what you are trying t...

If you have never saved this as an Audacity project and the contents become a flat line, then something may have deleted the files in the Audacity temporary directory, or the temporary directory cannot be read or written to any longer. So look at Audacity's Directories Preferences to see where that ...

Thank you for the excellent information given. Simple answer, don't waste your time recording into the external microphone port of the computer. It's the wrong type of input, unless perhaps these are speech tapes and you don't care about quality or whether you get mono or stereo recording. Best bet:...
