I have been recording with Audacity for about 5 years..just purchased a new hi tec computer
with Windows 10 64 bit 32 GB..I`m using an Allen and Heath 8 channel usb mixer... I record music...I`ve never really had a problem with this editor..suddenly it became unstable...when I record all I can get is a weak signal..I have to turn all levels most of the way to get a weak distorted signal..won`t show clipping no matter where settings set too.
I`ve reinstalled it a couple of times..just now it pretty much crashed..I can open the main window but does nothing ?

Make sure all Windows "Enhancements" are turned off.

I assume you've selected the USB mixer as your Recording Device? Don't record from "Stereo Mix" or "Loopback" if you're recording from the mixer.
