Promblem with hearing what i record

[steve]

I’m having absolute recording catastrophes from not being able to monitor what I record. Is it really not possible to hear precisely what Audacity is recording in real time? Is that a big limitation or is it just me? We wasted 40 mins of recording while I was monitoring through the mixer and a game-ending disturbance was on the line between the mixer and laptop/Audacity. Anyone else need this feature or have a solution? Many thanks.

Please don’t double post.
