Recording on the same track

Post by musikkmannen » Sat Sep 12, 2009 6:52 pm

Hi!

I guess this is pretty elemtary, but I can't manage to record on the same track - Audacity creates a new trck for me everytime I want to record. Any ideas?

Either press Pause instead of stop, or stop using Audacity 1.2.

Audacity 1.3 has provision for one-line editing.

After you have stopped recording - to start again in the same track press Shift+R or Shift+Record
