When I am using Audacity to record things, often it's something where I can't really sit there time-wise and wait for the recording to be done. Also, radio and radio scanners often aren't a quick 1-2-3 recording anyway.
My first question is, how every now and then, when you hover over the status bar or whatever brings up how much recording time is left, is it possible to have it stay there or somewhere else, so you always are aware of how much time is left?
Also, my one computer with Windows XP Pro, seems to properly record on Line In but it just doesn't seem to let you select anything, but it works, so.....
Also, is there any easy way besides Cut, Copy, & Paste, to merge recordings together?

Re: Always Display Recording Time Left + Other Questions
Hi Red
To answer your last question first. A good merge of tracks is to record 2 tracks so you have one above the other. Then use the time shift tool, thats the arrow with 2 heads and move the lower track so that the beginning just just overlaps the end of the top track by a couple of seconds. Then do a 2 second fade out on the top track and a two second fade in on the bottom track. That way you ge a nice transition between the two. The times can obviously be varied to suit your music.
I use USB to record from outside sorces. I have two USB mikes, one of which is a recording mike the Samson H2 & a Logitech desktop mike. I get better results through the usb than the line in. I also feed my speakers via the usb connections via a Behringer filter card. I use XP Professional SP3.
Not sure about the recording time question.
