You can record up to the number of channels indicated in the Devices section of Audacity Preferences. If you are recording a flat line, you can read here:

So, is this issue of yours resolved? A quick yes or no would be appreciated.

Thank you Gale, Yes the issue i had with the plug ins was i needed to check "research for plugins upon open", but it seems i hit a brick wall with my recording, because i only have speakers ( 2 channels) and Microsoft sound mapper ( 2 channels).

Maybe it would be possible to record each track seperatly and then use a different program to record them together?What are your thoughts on that

Uh i just solved my problem with the tracks, what i was trying to do was EXPORT, not record,,,,, that fixed it!!!

It's quite easy to record a track at a time in Audacity. You can play the tracks already there while recording a new one by checking Transport > Overdub before you record.

Audacity mixes all the on-screen tracks together when you play or export them. If you don't want a particular track to be exported in the mix, mute it.
