Using my DAW with Audacity

Hi All

I have just joined and downloaded the 4.01. I had a problem with the previous ver where I could not record on the on a second track. Though the new ver would fix this prblem I’m encountering.

On on windows 11 Audio set up is recognising my Rode Ai-1 interface pluged into the USB c on my HP laptop in can download a music file into the first track no issues but when I try to record on a second track the play head does not move.

Is there a setting im not establishing

Thanks Glen
