Input Level Selector--?
Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2011 8:20 pm
Hi,
I am very new to Audacity and just installed it. I have an Audio-Technica USB turntable plugged into the USB port of a 27" iMac running OS X 10.6.6. When I play and record an album, the waveforms are barely more than a flat line and, not surprisingly, the sound is not very loud. I have the input level selector (the bar next to the microphone to the left of "Default Input Source", correct?) pegged all the way to the right (+). I have no choice but to have "Default Input Source" selected as it is the only selection available. If I look at "Sound Input" in System Preferences for USB Audio CODEC it says "The selected device has no input controls".
What am I doing wrong/missing here? Is there a manual for OS X Snow Leopard set-up? Any help would be very much appreciated!
