My Audacity 2.0.4 will not record music from Vanbasco. I have used an older version and it worked fine. Can you help. I love sing every day and have been for several years. I have a brand new Toshiba laptop. Just can't figure it out. It's like the voice trumps over the music. But ...

... is because you have enabled CleanSpeech Mode in the Interface Preferences. But you must remove 1.3 and install 2.0.4 instead, because we will not help you with the 1.3 version any longer.

... desktop has Stereo Mix and the laptop does not. Does not having Stereo Mix make a difference? I was hoping someone from Audacity would be able to help. It seems like a pretty straight forward issue for them but for low level users like me who only record the sound from the computer without using ...

... was the last time you restarted your machine from power off? Which Audacity exactly do you have? Audacity > About Audacity or it might be under Help. Koz

Do you have two blue wave collections one above the other? (Illustration). If you have scrambled sound tracks, you could have stuck "Overdubbing" on by accident. That will create summary mixed tracks and it can be a little startling if you're not expecting it. Audacity > Edit > Preferences...

... but it would be good to know how to configure Audacity to do this as well as getting Sound Recorder working. This is a conversation, not a help desk. Koz
