When I play back a speech I've recorded, it seems the program is cutting out the natural silence/breath between spoken phrases. What is that called on Audacity so I can adjust it or how can I fix it? Does this happed during recording or during playback? Thanks for any help.

Audacity 1.3 has a Preference called Smart Recording. You can turn that off. Restart Audacity.

Thank you for your suggestion, but I have searched and cannot find "Smart Recording" anywhere on my 1.3.11 beta verson of audacity. Maybe it's called something else?

Possibly "sound activated recording" ...

Don't tick the box I've coloured yellow.
If it is ticked Audacity will not record, ("cut out"), some of the silence between sounds when recording.
