choosing how i want to rcord

[curiousgeorge]

just downloaded this great product but how do choose how to record i.e microphone, line in etc

[friday jones]

Assuming Windows XP, double-click on the speaker icon in your tray at the right of the task bar. Under Options, select properties, and tick Recording, then make sure that all of the options on the list box are ticked, and then click OK. Whichever device in that list has the Select box ticked is the device Audacity will record from.

For Vista you should use Audacity 1.3.13 http://audacityteam.org/download/

im already using this version

[friday jones]

For Vista, right-click the speaker icon in the tray on your taskbar, choose Recording Devices, highlight a device from the list, and then click Set Default. The device has to be enabled, plugged in, and ready to use or the Set Default button will be grayed out.

Please check which part of the forum you are posting to. This was posted in the Audacity 1.2.x section. Now moved to the Audacity 1.3.x section.
