That lovely English weather getting to you, WC?

There are two ways of doing this. If you want the second track to follow the first immediately, you can Cut the second track, click on the first track and pressing Fast Forward (>>). Then click Paste. The second track will follow the first immediately. You can also shift the second track relative to...

Uhh, I think you missed the important point, WC. Pete, Some audio drivers won't allow you to access the Mixer selection menu. This is because of the way different drivers handle different inputs. There's a lack of standardization here that is causing the problem. You will be able to select different...

You might have a hard drive that's too full and/or fragmented. You might have a program running in the background that accesses your hard drive while it's trying to record (Virus Checkers are the worst).

Audacity 1.2.6 cannot have 'dead' space on a track. You have three options: 1) Insert silence as you said. This will greatly increase the amount of data in your project. 2) Use Audacity 1.3.3. That version allows you to have 'dead' space between different clips on one track. 3) Just make a third tra...
