Setting Up / Learning to use the system

Post by cloch94 » Sat Mar 03, 2012 2:42 pm

A few days ago I started to set up the system and at the Audacity control panel on the laptop screen went to Edit/Preferences then Playback and Recording to find the USB Audio Controller. Success. Now I have tried to follow the same route but after Preference a different page appears with these headings-File formats/Spectogram/Directories/Interface/Keyboards/Mouse. I have clicked on one of the options, then OK in the hope that this would clear the unwanted pagebut it appears each time I try. I cannot lose it. I would be most grateful for some advice. Thanks

From your description is sounds like you are using Audacity 1.2.x. Is that the case?

What computer and operating system are you using? Audacity 1.2.x is not recommended for Windows Vista or Windows 7.

Bill,
Yes, it is the 1.2 version. I think that I have seen a 1.3 version. Would it be appropriate to download that? Or is there another option. Thanks. cloche94

Bill,
I forgot to add that I use Windows 7.
