I’m on a Mac osx 10.14.2
audacity 2.3.0
installed ATR2100-USB, is recognized on the Mac, but does not show up in Audacity.
Closed audacity and relaunched with mic plugged in, still nothing.
Next?

Thank you. Yes, audacity was already checked. Tried again this morning, and now the mic is recognized. I had read that audacity doesn’t always recognize the mic right away. Guess it had to sleep overnight :unamused:

I suspect the problem was that Audacity was already running when you plugged in the mic. When adding a new audio device (such as the USB microphone), you should do that before you start Audacity.
