USB Audio Interface

Post by stratocat » Thu Jun 17, 2010 8:41 pm

Hello, I'm trying to set up my Focusrite 6 USB Audio Inteface (before my classes at Berklee start on the 28th!) to enable me to record on it and export the files for grading.
Problem is that I'm having trouble with Audacity recognizing the USB interface. What am I doing wrong?

The USB interface must be connected to the computer and recognised by Windows before you open Audacity.
You may be better to upgrade to Audacity 1.3.12 (better hardware support).
If you still have problems, please post which version of Windows you are using.
