Sometimes "what you hear recording" (AKA "Stereo Mix") is not available in Win 7 ...l On my wife's new W7 laptop there was no way to record what was playing on the computer with Audacity - the option was totally missin, not even hidden asSteve says is sometimes is. Her workaroun...

Windows 7 64 bit First thing to sort out is: can Windows see your USB device - i.e. is it one of the recording devices that is available for input? You should be able to see this from Control Panel > Hatdware & Sound > Sound in W7 ok. so then let's start with a simple test. With the UA-1G conne...

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIP_switch

The dip switches on your UA-1G are the little 2-position switches on the bottom of the device which are used to configure it.

There doesn't seem to be a way to select one track and have it fill the screen with a shortcut keystroke. There is a Pending Feature Request that I transfrerred to the Audacity Wiki earlier this month for exactly that: Keyboard short-cut for expanding tracks at max .: When creating new tracks, the ...

See: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Audacity_Projects The files are the little snippets of audio and any changes that you make so it is likely that a project file/folder will be greater size than the sum of the WAVs. And no you don't need to save the project - I never do when I am transcribing v...

... Now im wondering if there is a way to change the speed right down to about 5 instead of the normal 33, possibly by twisting an onboard pot somewhere with a screwdriver? Even if you could I wouldn't do that - see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Higher_speed_transfers Although this is targete...

As Steve says - and no you won't lose your iTunes files either (unless you move or delete them).

Ok so you are recording your project on to an external 2TB drive (I'm guessing). Big it might be but it is unlikely to be fast enough to keep up with the exacting demands of audio capture in real time. If the disk isn't quite ready for writing as the audio comes by that bit of audio gets lost. So re...
