I transferred one of my tapes to the pc but it is too loud and distorted. I have been trying to find more info but am stuck - how do I set the input levels so that the recording is not too loud through the line in? Thanks Which Audacity version are you using now? Are you sure you connected to the c...

I am using Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7. I have burned 2 CDs. The first CD plays fine in my car player but the second one does not. The player ejects it. I thought I did everything the same for both CDs but I must have missed a small step. Make sure you burned it as an audio CD. If that doe...

I had wondered about recording in the same window. Could try that. I know one user for whom that does not prevent the crashes, but does make them less common. Restarting Audacity between recordings also seems to keep it from crashing as far as I can recall. OK thanks I made a note of that in the bu...

Set the default to 48000 in "Edit > Preferences > Quality".
