A solution could be to ask a question when creating a new project: "Do you want all data to be copied into the project (BIG file) or do you want the project to link to the audio files you will be importing (Don't move project and source files!)" We already ask that now by default, when fi...

It is only a standard computer mic that will pick up all noises close to the motherboard. Professionals would be inclined to use a mic with an XLR connector in a USB interface or with a USB mic pre-amplifier, unless their computer has a proper stereo line-in in which case they might connect the mic ...

2.0.3 is very old now. I recommend you upgrade to the current Audacity 2.1.2 from http://audacityteam.org/download/mac . Then the online Manual http://manual.audacityteam.org/ will match with your Audacity version. Then see this Tutorial Recording with USB turntables or USB cassette decks . Connect ...
