Re: recording problem
You need to have perfect pitch to use the Audacity vocal recording function.
Just kidding.
Audacity > Preferences > Audio I/O
Juggle between Software Playthrough and Hardware playthrough. Pick the one that's least objectionable. Some don't work and some play to your headphones late. Depends on the machine.

On Windows, it is highly recommended to NOT use "software playthrough" unless absolutely essential - it causes real bad echo delay. On Windows, "hardware playthrough" is not a selectable option - it is automatically set for hardware by default.kozikowski wrote:Juggle between Software Playthrough and Hardware playthrough.
"play other tracks while recording new one" should usually be selected.
