that's because Audacity is not creating .tmp files - it's creating .aup files which manage projects and a LOT of little .au files which are little sound segments (Done this way to improve processing speed).

... please tell me where your putting these temp files, how I can delete those tmp files. Audacity is putting your temp files where you told it to in you preferences when you installed and configured Audacity. Go to Edit>Preferences>Drectories to see the locationthat was set.

Yes provided that you have enough disk space - and providing the processor is fast enough to handle realtime digital audio capture (no problem for modern PCs). Personally I would be using 1.3.9 rather than 1.2. In spite of the beta labelling, i.3.x is pretty stable now (approaching a release soon) -...
