Hey Audacity,
Software Playthrough... Doesn't Work. I Can't
Record Audio... I Get Distortion Marks (Red Lines) & The
Sound Goes Higher & Higher w/ A Repeated Drum-Like Noise
(Kick) Overdubing / Not Recording Anything. Can You Help?
Also Is There A Better Way To Use Software Playthrough
w/out The Late Echos While I'm Recording?


Equipment:

Microphone - Logitech - ClearChat Stereo

Computer:
Windows PC - Windows Vista 32 Bit
Audacity & Computer: (Options, commands, Sound Card...)

Everything Is Still Factory

Can You Help?

Software Playthrough is slow compared to hardware routing, so there will always be a delay and you can't do anything about that.
Why do you need to use software playthrough?

I Need To Use Software Play Through To Record My Instrumental Beats... I'm Using A Keyboard Midi I Was Told That This Is A Digital Audio Workstation (DAW)

Audacity is an open source program for recording and editing audio.
For recording your Instrumental Beats, "Software Playthrough" must be off (not selected).
If you are not able to record the Instrumental Beats with Software Playthrough off, then the problem lies elsewhere.
To record the Instrumental Beats, Audacity must be set to record from the "Stereo Mix" (if available). See here for help enabling "Stereo Mix". http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Mixer ... trol_Panel
