Recording crashes, input levels freeze

Post by oscillogic » Sat Mar 01, 2008 4:35 pm

My first 2 attempts at recording had same problem. I was recording from a cassette deck via the ION turtable and when all was rolling I went off to do something else. When I returned I noticed that not only did the waveform curser stop and and was no longer generating but the recording level indicators also froze. I have used another sound program, PEAK Audio, that had you assign a recording buffer folder before you do anything but do not remember seeing anything similar in Audacity. HELP! someone. Any one out there experience similar?

Audacity > Preferences > Directories

In addition, Audacity Hates USB turntables. Since you're on a Mac, you can go the analog route.
