I am recording cassette tapes using the latest version of Audacity / Windows 7. Please, give us all three numbers of your version of Audacity (see the pink panel at the top of the page). Different sites (not controlled by us) have different version of Audacity listed, so we have to ask. You can obt...

Thank you for the reply, its Audacity-win-2.1, guitar is connected through an old analog mixer though the computer mic port. We don't make a "2.1" version. Please give us all three numbers from Help > About Audacity... . What is the make and model number of the mixer? Mixer output will be...

We do need to remember that when existing users come round to installing the version of Audacity that contains this change that unless they check the "Reset Preferences" (and many won't) they will not get the benefit of the new default. Is that how it would work? I don't recall. If the us...

Having had a quick look, it looks like it should be fairly straightforward to make the default either the "Documents" directory, or the "Music" directory. Examples: Unix/Mac: ~/Documents Windows: "C:\Users\username\Documents" Unix/Mac: ~/Music Windows: "C:\Users\u...

Please tell us your version of Audacity (see the pink panel at the top of the page) and tell us exactly how your guitar is connected to the computer. If you are connecting it to the computer mic port, please see Why do my recordings fade out or sound as if they were made in a tunnel? . If you are re...
