Audio Dropouts If More Than One Track with Scarlet Solo

Audacity 3 Help Forum
1

When recording anything subsequent to the first track in Audacity 3.7 using a Focusrite Scarlet 3, I get audio dropouts…but only if I don’t have the PLAYBACK also set to the Scarlet. It doesn’t matter if the other tracks are muted or not.

I can record the first track with Playback set to something else (ie external speakers) and even add on to the first track. I just can’t record a second or subsequent one one (even if playback on the first/existing tracks is MUTED).

It’s an easy work-around, but checking to see if this is normal and/or avoidable.

Mac Mini M2 Pro
MacOS: 14.7.1

32-bit float.
