Cannot record - Mixer tool bar inactive
I am a very beginner. Just wanted to make some talking cd's (affirmation type stuff). I have a usb mic plugged into a usb port in front of my Dell 530. I do not seem to be able to choose which device to record from. When I try to choose from the mixer tool bar I am not even able to click on the drop down menu. Any suggetions? [/color]

The first step is almost always getting Windows to figure it out first, and then Audacity is pretty simple.
